“A Perfect fit” Liverpool new signing Luis Diaz tipped to shine in the Premier League
“A Perfect fit” Liverpool new signing Luis Diaz tipped to shine in the Premier League.
Carlos Carvalhal believes Liverpool’s new signing Luis Diaz has the potential to be one of the Premier League’s stars next season after joining the Reds for an initial fee of £37.5million.
The 25-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract and is set to earn just £56,000-a-week at Anfield after the move from FC Porto.
Diaz has been brought in to help bolster the competition amongst Jurgen Klopp’s attack just like Diogo Jota has in recent seasons.
“He will be one of the stars of the league next season,’ Braga manager Carlos Carvalhal said
“He was the best player in the league last season, he did absolutely fantastic, he played on the left side with a right-foot.
“He scores goals, he’s very intense, especially in attack. He’s a fantastic player.”

Carvalhal believes Diaz is a perfect fit for the style of play at Liverpool and will be a top addition to compliment the likes of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firimo.
“We all know how Liverpool plays. It’s like when you have a number on your shoes, you’re a number eight for example, and you look at the shoes and say they’re exactly my number. That is Luis Diaz to Liverpool.
“He is dynamic, fast, very strong, creative, and very good one-on-one.”
Diaz scored 14 goals and provided five assists in 18 league appearances this season for Porto, who are top of Portugal’s Primeira Liga.
Diaz remains on international duty and will be in action for Colombia on Tuesday against Argentina.
