Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Luis Diaz’s Premier League debut as one of the best he has ever seen after Tottenham Hotspur failed to secure his signature in January. Speaking after seeing his side run out 2-0 victors,
Jurgen Klopp said: “It was his first game and it was probably one of the best I ever saw from a new player, that’s true, because he looked completely natural. But it was only a first game and we have to see how he adapts to working with intensity and all this kind of things in the Premier League. There is no rush. Last night was a very good opportunity to start him because of Sadio not being here yet and Mo [Salah] coming back from an incredibly tense tournament and, yes, he showed up.”
Whilst Spurs were frustrated in their efforts to take Diaz to north London, they were able to secure two January signings in the form of Juventus duo Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski.
