Nunez scores on Al Hilal debut after £46m switch

Darwin Nunez marked his Al Hilal debut with a goal in a 6-0 pre-season win over Swiss side Aarau, just 48 hours after completing his £46 million move from Liverpool.

The 26-year-old Uruguay international came off the bench to fire home from inside the penalty area, having already seen an earlier effort ruled out for offside.

His strike adds to an impressive summer in front of goal, following five goals in four matches for Liverpool before his transfer.

Nunez’s new club, runners-up in last season’s Saudi Pro League, will compete in both the domestic league and AFC Champions League this term under Simone Inzaghi.

The forward bid an emotional farewell to Liverpool fans in an open letter, thanking supporters for their backing over his three seasons at Anfield and vowing the club would “always be part” of him.
