Darwin Nunez gave Jurgen Klopp more proof that he is going to start repaying his £85 million transfer cost.

The striker struggled to live up to the hype surrounding his record-breaking signing from Benfica last season.

He scored 15 goals in 42 games, which is not a bad record, but he spent a lot of time looking nervous as he tried to fit in.

Now, the 24-year-old appears to be at peace.

After goalkeeper Mads Hermansen parried Diogo Jota’s effort, his opening goal in the 4-0 demolition of Leicester was a straightforward tap-in.

However, it was his fourth goal in three 45-minute appearances, which also included a 4-2 triumph against Karlsruher and a 4-4 draw with Furth, before Liverpool left for their most recent warm-up in Singapore.

Furthermore, he kept his perfect record of scoring with every shot on goal and contributed an assist.

Klopp will have been delighted with Alexis Mac Allister’s growing influence before making wholesale replacements at halftime, as he had in each of his team’s previous two friendlies.

Jota’s vision and touch enabled him to take a shot at the start of an eight-minute run that annihilated Enzo Maresca’s Foxes.

This summer, the Argentine World Cup champion was purchased from Brighton for £35 million in order to bring the same precision and intelligence that he exhibited in locating Jota.

In contrast to Nunez, the attacking midfielder appears to have settled in swiftly and promises to provide a fresh dimension to Klopp’s side.

For the majority of the first half hour, Liverpool struggled to keep their opponents at bay in a sparsely crowded national stadium in Singapore.

Maresca may want to avoid comparisons to Pep Guardiola, with whom he won the Triple Crown as an assistant coach last season.

Leicester, on the other hand, followed Manchester City’s possession football blueprint for a third of the game, forcing five corners in the first 23 minutes.

Wilfred Ndidi was denied by Caoimhin Kelleher, the goalie for Kop No. 2.

Following Nunez’s goal, Klopp’s team accelerated, with Trent Alexander-Arnold reprising his new hybrid role as right back and holding midfielder.

Mo Salah assisted 18-year-old midfielder Bobby Clark’s goal from 22 yards out before Jota scored from Mo Salah’s pass.

Ben Doak’s excellent performance reinforced to the assumption that he is a future superstar.

With a beautiful volley in the second half, the small Scottish right winger, 17, completed the score for Klopp’s squad.
