There’s no question that Darwin Nunez has a lot of respect for Jurgen Klopp but it seems that there’s another manager in his life that is also providing the forward with some important advice at the moment.
Speaking with Uruguayan outlet Sport 890, our No.9 said (translated): “Bielsa showed me some things that seem positive to improve. I hope to meet him next week and do my best for the team”
With the former Leeds United boss being in charged of our striker’s national side, it’s not too much of a surprise to see that he’s trying to provide some help at this moment in time.
If the 24-year-old can combine the advice of two successful and charismatic men, then we should all hope that we can continue to enjoy performances like the one seen at St. James’ Park.
Now that the former Benfica man is set to travel to South America for the looming international break, it will be interesting to see if his performances improve whilst under the stewardship of the well respected tactician.
Adding some confidence from the Newcastle performance to these new lessons, should result in some exciting results for us all in the coming weeks and months.
What transfer insider has heard from Liverpool as West Ham could compete for signing
Liverpool could be set to face some competition for the signing of Piero Hincapie this summer should they opt to move for the Bayer Leverkusen defender this summer.
Ben Jacobs claimed that the centre-half ‘would be open to a Liverpool move’, though it remains to be seen whether the Reds are keen on bringing that eventuality to life amid interest from David Moyes’ West Ham.
“Centre-back wise I get a lot of questions about Hincapie. I’m still told from people close to the player that there has been no offer,” the CBS Sports journalist spoke on an X space (as relayed by The Boot Room).
“Two Premier League clubs have been linked and have certainly made enquiries and the player, by the way, would be very open to a Liverpool move but I’m not aware of a Liverpool offer at this point.
“The other club is West Ham and they have obviously had a failed pursuit and I do think we can call him it that now, of Harry Maguire, so they are in the market for a centre-back as well.
“But I do think Liverpool will be very busy between now and the end of the window.”
The Hammers have been especially busy in the market of late, landing the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez, though still find themselves likewise in need of defensive reinforcements.
Our need for a left-sided centre-back has been extremely well-documented throughout the window, and one might daresay it now takes precedence (or should) over the acquisition of a fourth midfield signing.
To not expand our available options then would seem the height of idiocy – especially whilst options in the market are not only readily available but also keen on switching to the red half of Merseyside.
We certainly can’t be missing out, with all due respect, to West Ham if there’s budget available for the prospective transfer.
