Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold: Nunez itching for his first goal

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold says Darwin Nunez has quickly won over his new teammates.

Nunez is yet to get off the mark after drawing a blank in Liverpool's two preseason friendlies so far.

But Alexander-Arnold says: "He's still kind of learning how we play, we're learning how he plays and soon enough we'll get that connection.

"I'm sure we'll be able to supply him with the ball to score goals. You can see he's itching for that first goal, but I'm sure once it comes it will be like London buses. We'll back him.

"Obviously out there, playing with him, you know to start that number nine movement that he's got, the runs that he makes, where he wants the ball. It's just about finding that connection and soon enough it'll all be good for us."
