Liverpool legend Jermaine Pennant has recently spoken out, openly questioning the performances of his side's striker Darwin Nunez and boldly suggesting that the club seek the signing of Newcastle United's Aleksandar Isaac in the winter transfer window.
Pennant was blunt: "It is necessary for Liverpool to consider signing Isaac in the winter window period. The fact that he has always scored against Liverpool since he joined Newcastle is not only a testament to his excellent goal-scoring skills, but also to the threat that his wealth of experience poses to opposing defenses."
He further dissected Isak's skills on the ball, "Isak's runs are agile, his speed is amazing and his presence inspires his teammates. He has all the qualities of a top striker, and the goal against Liverpool was a demonstration of his individual strength, and it was not the first time he had scored like that."
On Nunez, Pennant expressed his disappointment, "Although Nunez is expensive and one of the highest paid players in the team, his performances have not matched his price tag. While he has a positive attitude and works hard, and the fans love such players, scoring goals is the soul of soccer."
Pennant believes that Nunez has reached the limit of his potential at Liverpool: "This is his third season at Liverpool, and I don't think he's going to make much of a breakthrough in the next two seasons. His performance at Liverpool is basically set in stone, and I'm not putting him down, I'm just being objective, he hasn't reached the heights that a Liverpool player should be."
He also compared Nunez to Manchester City star Erling Haaland: "At first, people always love to compare him to Haaland, who joined City at the same time, but Nunez has not shown the same dominance as Haaland."
Finally, Pennant offered his own transfer advice: "Liverpool have had many outstanding strikers in their history, and Nunez still has a long way to go compared to them. I think it would be wise to sell him and use the money to bring in other players. Isaac is certainly one to consider."
