DARWIN NUNEZ is not just a pretty face — and Jurgen Klopp knows it.
The Liverpool boss may have joked that he was “extremely good looking” ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica in April.
Benfica star Darwin Nunez is closing in on a move to Liverpool
Uruguay international Nunez is wanted by a host of clubs across Europe
Nunez scored in both matches for the Portuguese side as they went down 6-4 on aggregate.
The 22-year-old star completed the campaign with 34 goals for Benfica and Klopp was so impressed that he wants to make him the new poster boy of his attack.
Nunez is also in high demand at Manchester United and Newcastle, with a battle for his signature underway.
But Nunez is understood to prefer a move to Merseyside and if he gets his wish there would be something rather fitting in that.
But it was the Uruguayan’s incredible shape which caught the eye even more than the mammoth fish.
Darwin Nunez’s love for tattoos has seen him ink the entirety of his right leg and some parts of his body.
In a photo posted on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, Nunez, who was clad in Liverpool’s training kits had his right leg captured by the lens of the camera – displaying his ‘work of art’ on his favourite leg.
The photo has since gone viral sparking a mixed reaction among social media users.
@urexp2me admired Nunez’s body art: “It’s true, it looks magnificent & he has a great 6 pack too. This must add 50m to his value. If he went to Pogbas barber and learnt how to dance he could even get sold for 500m next season.
” @Am10Talk tweeted: “I’ve said this before. Darwin Nunez is a player with a good pace, good dribbling, and good finishing but lacks smoothness. His game is sort of rough and not clean. That makes his link-up and hold-up pretty average. Attributes wise – Good player, Game sense wise- Could improve a lot.”

@DaveWays_ paid tribute to Nunez’s tattoos: “His ink is incredible.”
@Okoa_jahazi_ compared Nunez’s tattoo to that of Lionel Messi: “Messi’s left leg is the best work of art.”
The Uruguayan centre-forward has been the subject of serious scrutiny from rival fans, following his slow start to life at Liverpool.
