Nunez left Merseyside last summer, joining Al-Hilal for £46m where he has scored nine times for the Saudi side.

Nunez left Liverpool last summer (Picture: Getty) ‘That’s the small detail – when he makes a run, he needs to get the ball immediately.

Otherwise he loses confidence quickly.’ Desailly is convinced Nunez still has plenty to offer in the Premier League, even comparing his early struggles to those of legends Dennis Bergkamp and Roberto Carlos. ‘I would actually recommend Núñez for Chelsea. He’s a very good player, a smart player – he just needs the right environment to perform,’ Desailly said.
