Darwin Nunez emerged into the world from a humble background in Uruguay, and a photograph of his first home perfectly captures that essence.

On his Instagram account, the 22-year-old shared a picture of his childhood residence accompanied by the caption: “My house, where I experienced 14 years of happiness! I will always remember my roots and cherish those memories.”

It’s admirable that the former Benfica player isn’t ashamed or hesitant to acknowledge his upbringing. He takes pride in how far he has come, and this sentiment predates his move to Liverpool.

In the upcoming season, the spotlight will be on our new No.27, but he is more than prepared for the challenge. Darwin has fought relentlessly every step of the way thus far. For a 6’2″ striker to rise from such a challenging background and secure a place in one of the world’s biggest clubs is a testament to the rewards of hard work.

Jurgen Klopp has a knack for identifying not just the right player, but also the right character, and it appears he has found yet another one in Darwin Nunez.
