Liverpool’s new signing Luis Diaz has all the qualities to succeed at a Premier League club, manager Juergen Klopp said, as he backed the Colombian winger to adapt quickly to life in England and improve the team.
Diaz on Sunday became Liverpool’s first signing over the January transfer window, joining him from Portuguese side Porto on a deal that was reported by British media to be worth 45 million euros ($50 million).
Klopp told the club’s website: “He is an outstanding player and one we have been keeping an eye on for a very long time. We believe he has the skills to adapt to the Premier League, both physically and mentally.” Everything is necessary.
“He is a player who is hungry for success and knows you have to fight to get what you want. He is a fighter, no doubt about it. He is a skilled team player who always has a goal in mind.”
Klopp thanked Liverpool owners for signing the deal.
Klopp said, “This team deserved to add quality and when we played against Lewis earlier this season, we saw how dangerous he is, how fast he is and how he had the mindset to help his team. “
“Lewis is a player who we believe will make us better now and in the future. He is the player we really wanted and he has done so, so I am very happy.”
Diaz will arrive at the club after completing international duty with Colombia, who face Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in Córdoba on Tuesday.
Liverpool are second in the league with 48 points after 22 matches, nine points behind Manchester City, who have played one game more.
They will host Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on 6 February.
