Based on his latest message Darwin Nunez now seems ready to play his part in one of Liverpool's biggest matches in recent memory, with the club able to be crowne Premier League champions against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

His newest post comes hours after the striker allegedly deleted a tweet hitting out at his lack of playing time this season.

The 25-year-old has made 42 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this term, though only 17 of those have been as part of the starting XI.

Following Arsenal's draw with Crystal Palace last Wednesday, the Reds require only a single point from their next match to be crowned 2024/25 Premier League champions.

Nunez would hope to get back in the starting XI, though has not been in that position since Liverpool played Southampton on March 8, which was also the last time he netted.

Though he has been out of Arne Slot's starting plans of late, a report emerged from Portugal last week claiming that if Nunez is selected once more then it would be his 60th in the Premier League and Champions League combined for the Reds, who would subsequently owe a €5m (£4.2m) bonus payment to Benfica.

With the Reds expected to pursue a new No.9 in the upcoming transfer window Nunez's future remains unclear.
