Nothing too much was expected from Liverpool before the January window closed.
But after what has been a whirlwind few days a £37.5m deal to sign Colombian striker Luis Diaz from Porto has been completed, with the deal reaching its positive conclusion despite the logistical challenges of the club and player being on different continents and the player gearing himself up for international action.
Jurgen Klopp spoke with Diaz over Zoom, and when the terms were agreed with Porto and Diaz's agent the Reds sent a delegation out to Argentina to conduct the medical and tie up all the necessary loose ends. It was completed well in advance of the window closing.
