Darwin Nunez's start at Liverpool has been likened to Timo Werner's time at Chelsea.
But whilst it didn't work out for the Blues star, Nunez has been told he 'will come good', and could have a similar impact like former Reds man Luis Suarez.
Nunez had a number of chances against Leicester but just couldn't find the net
Jurgen Klopp's side managed to cling on to their 2-1 lead over the Foxes on Friday night, as the visitors' opening goal was cancelled out thanks to two own goals from Wout Faes.
The second time Faes turned the ball into his own net had stemmed from a chance from Liverpool's summer signing Nunez, whose shot hit the post before the ball rebounded off Faes and into the net.
But despite Nunez not getting on the scoresheet himself, talkSPORT's Tony Cascarino was full of praise for his role in the game.
"I would say the relentless work rate of Nunez has been brilliant again," the ex-Chelsea striker said on GameDay Breakfast.
"Okay, he's not clinical enough and he has to become a better finisher, but his work rate was brilliant last night.
"Leicester didn't like it. I mean [Daniel] Amartey gave him about four or five yards at one stage and got past him with a blistering pace."
Cascarino thinks Nunez is already proving how vital he'll be for Liverpool
He continued: "He's doing everything right. Okay, he's not because he's not scoring. But he's doing everything right getting into the positions to score.
"Don't stop doing that and I really feel like he'll go on a run, he really will do because he's got such devastating pace.
"Liverpool fans are actually really enjoying his performances and they'll take to him because they love his attitude, his desire to get across the pitch and make other people's jobs easier.
"He does that really well."
Nunez reminds Cascarino of Werner
Nunez's miss that led to Liverpool's second goal was just one of the many shots Nunez had on the night, and isn't the first game the Uruguayan has had where he's failed to convert a handful of chances.
The star has had 52 attempts on goal in the Premier League this season, but scored just five goals.
Nunez isn't the first player to come to the Premier League and fail to convert despite their large number of chances at the start of their career, with Werner struggling to hit a barn door during his time at Chelsea.
And Cascarino admits he sees similarities between the Uruguayan and German.
Cascarino thinks Liverpool can have faith in Nunez
But whilst Werner left Stamford Bridge this summer after scoring just 23 goals in 89 games, Cascarino thinks Nunez won't suffer the same fate.
"Do you know who he reminds me of? Timo Werner," Cascarino added.
"Where he couldn't buy a goal, his pace was brilliant, he never stopped working his socks off, it's a little like that scenario.
"It feels like Timo Werner, there's a bit more about Nunez I think, I do think he'll come good. I was never convinced by Timo Werner."
Cascarino isn't the only one that has faith in Nunez becoming a success for Liverpool, with Reds legend Jamie Carragher also backing him.
Suarez was a deadly striker for Liverpool in the end
But instead of comparing him to Werner, Carragher says Nunez's start to life at Liverpool reminds him of the striker's compatriot, Uruguayan and former Reds striker Suarez.
And Carragher thinks Nunez can emulate Suarez's legacy at Anfield, that saw him net 82 goals in 133 games after also having a slow start.
"He just needs to be a little bit more clinical, a bit calmer in certain situations," Carragher told Sky Sports before the Leicester game.
"He's got a hell of a strike on him with both feet so I don't think he's ever going to be a delicate finisher, he's always going to put his foot through the ball.
"You mention [Robert] Lewandowski, I mean Nunez already has more goals than he had in his first season at Borussia Dortmund right now.
"And you think of another player here whose finishing was a bit erratic when he came in and ended up being the best striker in the world for four or five years, Luis Suarez.
"Different type of player, but when I first saw him, he'd scuff shots, they'd go past the post, but you knew there was something there.
"I think the players playing with Nunez are thinking 'we are really close to having something really special', but of course you have to get more goals, finish more of those chances and I'm sure that'll come."
