Darwin Nunez has only scored six times for Liverpool so far this season. Arne Slot has criticized him recently and a big transfer decision could await in the summer.

Simply put Nunez has been unable to force his way into Arne Slot 's base plans in the head coach's first season with the Reds. On the right flank there is unequivocally Mohamed Salah, on the left Cody Gakpo is a nailed-on starter but through the centre of a three-pronged attack the standout figure has not been able to prove themselves.

Arne Slot has explained his frustrations with Darwin Núñez after he left the Uruguay international on the bench during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Manchester City.
