How have Uruguayans fared in the Premier League?
Liverpool’s signing of Darwin Nunez helps make him the 24th Uruguayan to enjoy in the Premier League.
He is the third of his countrymen to get there at Anfield, next Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates.
Right here the PA information company will take a seem at some of the most effective to participate in in the English best flight.
Luis Suarez (Liverpool, 2011-2014)
Unquestionably the most effective of his countrymen to play in England and a deal at £22.7million. He scored 69 goals in 110 league appearances, famously scoring 4 versus Norwich as he became the very first Premier League player to sign-up a few hat-tricks against the exact same opposition. He had his disciplinary issues but practically dragged Liverpool to their first Leading League title in 2013-14.
Gus Poyet (Chelsea, 1997-2001, Tottenham 2001-2004)
Arrived at Stamford Bridge as a 29-yr-aged midfielder and managed an impressive return of 36 targets in 105 appearances. That return diminished when he moved to Spurs, aged 33, but he nonetheless scored 18 in 82.
Admittedly it was not the greatest model of the Uruguay goalscoring great that arrived at Old Trafford at the age of 33, but he continue to managed to make an affect, scoring 10 plans in 26 appearances (only half of which were starts) in his maiden season. Accidents and the return of Cristiano Ronaldo curtailed his 2nd and remaining marketing campaign, with just two ambitions in 15 appearances.
Diego Forlan (Manchester United 2002-04)
Manchester United did not see the finest of Diego Forlan. Just 10 league objectives in 63 appearances was no indication of the vocation he was to go on to have in Spain, but his double in a 2-1 acquire from Liverpool at Anfield in 2002 endeared him to lovers.
Gaston Ramirez (Southampton 2012-16, Hull 2014-15 and Middlesbrough 2016-17)
Ramirez’s signing by Saints appeared an fascinating a person and 5 aims in 26 was an Ok commence, but he never ever definitely ignited at St Mary’s and then spells at Hull and Middlesbrough, whom he was both of those relegated with, just compounded the stress.
Abel Hernandez (Hull 2014-17)
Hull built Hernandez their file £10m signing just after a superior spell at Palermo but he proved more suited to the Championship, with just four objectives in just about every of his two Leading League seasons.
Only signed in January from Juventus in a £21m deal, but the early indicators have been encouraging.
