Jurgen Klopp praises Luis Diaz for his immediate impact upon arriving at Anfield
Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Jurgen Klopp has waxed lyrical about the instant impact Luis Diaz has had since moving to Anfield in the January transfer window.
The Reds signed the Columbian winger from Portuguese giants Porto and he has taken to life on Merseyside like a fish to water. He has immediately settled into his new team, scoring two goals as Liverpool continue to push Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Having scored 16 goals and providing 6 assists before joining the Reds, Diaz will be hoping to add to that tally in a Liverpool shirt as they look to challenge Man City to the title. His arrival has added fresh impetus into the Reds’ title charge.
The arrival of the winger has shifted the dynamic of the title race and although Klopp admits that he’d have prefered to sign the player in the summer, Diaz has been excellent for the Reds. Given the impact he has had so far, we are not complaining.
“You don’t expect miracles immediately from these kind of players. But he is not far away from doing exactly that. Long may it continue.”
The perfect fit?
Every time Luis Diaz plays, he looks like the perfect signing for Liverpool. The 25-year-old is still very young and continues to develop and could be a future superstar at Anfield if he continues at the same level.
The Colombian ace appears to be an ideal fit for the Reds. In Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool have two superstars who are not getting any younger. The Reds will want the next generation to take over.
