A 22-year-old who has scored 20 goals in 22 top-flight games, as well as four in eight Champions League matches - including two against Barcelona - should be a target for every top club in Europe, right?

Right. And that man is Benfica's Darwin Nunez, who is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle ahead of a potential move this summer.

Nunez is an out-and-out goalscorer

The Uruguayan is having a phenomenal season in Portugal and is currently the Primeira Liga top goalscorer.

As well as domestic success, he has also helped fire the Eagles to a Champions League quarter-final where they will face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

And, whilst most Reds fans think they will comfortably sail through to the semi-finals, Virgil Van Dijk and his defensive teammates know that Nunez will give them a tough time when they go head-to-head.

And Barcelona will back that up, after the centre-forward bagged a brace against the La Liga giants in a 3-0 win in September.

That result not only helped the Portuguese club into the Champions League knockout stages, but also made clubs across Europe sit up and take note of Nunez.

Just over two years before that, the Uruguayan international was back playing in his homeland for boyhood club Penarol, before making a bold move to Europe.

The 22-year-old has nine caps for Uruguay, scoring two goals

At just 20 years old, Nunez moved from South America to southern Spain, when second-tier side Almeria signed him for a reported £4.5million.

But just one season, 16 league goals, and an unsuccessful play-off campaign later, Benfica took a gamble on Nunez and decided to bring him to Portugal.

Just over £20m was spent on the striker, who signed a bumper five-year deal with the club, having beaten Brighton to his signature, who were reportedly interested in signing him too.

Whilst he'd been a goalscorer throughout much of his short but successful career, Nunez turned provider during his first season at Benfica.

Barcelona won't want to face Nunez again any time soon...

He recorded 10 league assists - the second-most in the division - during his first season in the Portuguese Premier League.

The 22-year-old has gone back to scoring goals - and now he can't stop - scoring not just a high quantity of goals, but crucial ones as well.

The two against Barcelona proved to be vital in the Champions League group stages, whilst his header against Ajax in the round of 16 sent them through to face Liverpool in the next round.

Barca will rue his goals against them, particularly as former player Luis Suarez told them to sign his compatriot while he was at Almeria.

'I recommended Darwin to Barcelona when he was at Almeria,' Suarez revealed in an interview with Gerard Romero on Twitch.

'I have 15 years of international experience. I know a thing or two about forwards.

'And I told them, 'pay attention to this one, he's very good, he shows interesting things'.

'They told me he was at Almeria and that he was too young.

'But instead of paying now €80m, €90m or €100m, they would've paid €15m or €20m and have him there as a substitute."

Now he is hoping to shock the Liverpool and help Benfica to their first European Cup semi-final in over 30 years, before, potentially, a big-money move to the Premier League this summer.

It could be a busy few months for Mr Nunez.
