Liverpool have been warned that Darwin Nunez may have had his 'head turned' after recent criticism from Arne Slot.

The Reds boss called out Nunez's unacceptable 'behaviour' after the Uruguay forward missed a glorious chance in last week's frustrating 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa.

I think it got too much in his head, where he wasn't the usual Darwin that works his a** off and makes sure he helps the team...that is something we will talk about."

Slot later clarified his strong remarks and said he was left frustrated because it was the second time the player's work rate had dropped, rather than being annoyed about the missed chance itself.

And former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster believes he may already have one eye on the Anfield exit door.

"If you're somebody looking from the outside in, that reeks of him going to Saudi Arabia in the summer," Foster said on his Fozcast podcast.

Arne Slot said Nunez's work rate dipped after missing the chance.

He's not even doing that now, and that smells of a player that's already had his head turned."

Following last week's draw, Slot later revealed he had spoken directly to Nunez about the issue, resulting in a marked improvement in his work rate.

But Foster said it might already be too late for him to resurrect his career at Liverpool, with fans growing increasingly frustrated by his poor performance in front of goal.

As uncertainty looms over the future of several Reds stars, the former Wrexham stopper warned that Anfield chiefs need to boost the club's attacking options during the summer.
