Pundit lavishes praise on ‘brilliant’ Liverpool winger Luis Diaz

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has been a sensational start to life on Merseyside having signed from FC Porto in January. 

The 25-year-old has certainly hit the ground running and another stellar outing against Leeds United was further proof that Jurgen Klopp has a star in the making on his hands. 

Seemingly purpose-built to play in the Reds’ style, the Colombian has wasted no time in becoming a key member of the side. 

Speaking on Soccer Special on Sky Sports, former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison was full of praise for Diaz. 

This Diaz has got all the skills to pay the bills. He’s going to fit in. He has been brilliant. Diaz really looks at home. What is it, his third or fourth game? Wow, what a signing – Diaz’s feet are ridiculous.

The dazzling winger earned a 7.60 Sofascore rating at Anfield in a display containing two shots on target, two key passes, six successful dribbles and a 100% aerial duel record.

It certainly has been some introduction from the Colombian. 

Previously new arrivals into the ranks have taken time to adapt to Klopp’s methods and demands, not Diaz. 

Seemingly plug and play from day one, the £36million valued star is ready to influence the destination of some of the four trophies that the Reds are currently on course for. 

matchday.
