Arne Slot FIXES Jürgen Klopp’s mistake to SAVE polarising Liverpool star

Arne Slot appears to see something in Darwin Nunez that Jurgen Klopp no longer could. That's according to a journalist's new claim.

De Telegraaf journalist Marcel van der Kraan understands that Arne Slot saw something in Darwin Nunez that Jurgen Klopp didn't. The German has apparently 'written off' the striker but his successor felt that was too much.

Instead, Slot has Nunez playing in a new kind of role - that of a striker who's looking to defend.

“Nunez had been written off by Jurgen Klopp, but the first thing Slot saw: that boy can run," said Van der Kraan, per Voetbal Zone. "'I need that for chasing down opponents'. That’s something that Nunez can do wonderfully.

“You saw Nunez laying a fantastic ball for Salah [against Arsenal]. Those two strikers Slot has been so busy with in the summer to make sure he plays evenly."
