Liverpool’s signing of Luis Diaz last month represented an uncharacteristic move by the Reds.
The winter transfer window is a notoriously difficult one in which to land targets for a reasonable fee, meaning big clubs like Liverpool tend to do very little notable business.
However, Diaz was one of Liverpool’s key targets and was actually brought into the club for a fee lower than what he would have cost had he been signed in the summer, making it a move that made plenty of sense.
