Leonardo Ramos coached the Uruguayan while he was still in his native country with Penarol at the age of 17.

Speaking to La Pagina, Ramos said: "He has a style similar to that of [Edinson] Cavani, but it seems to me that Darwin is faster and more powerful.

"He is much more explosive and apart from that explosiveness he obviously showed incredible scoring ability.

"It has two parts, it is half and half between [Luis] Suarez and Cavani. He has the power that Suarez had to go for everything, to go to the clash and fight with the rival.

"And he also has Cavani's part, of being a much more athletic, more physical, smarter player. I think it's a union of those two things."
