While Liverpool have purchased many excellent players in the last few years, what has been even more impressive is how seamlessly they have slotted into Jurgen Klopp’s team. The manager doesn’t always throw them into the side immediately, but they normally look at home when he decides they’re ready to pull on the red shirt.
Luis Diaz has provided the most recent example of this phenomenon in quite some style, and he didn’t have the benefit of a pre-season to learn the patterns and movements of his new teammates. Despite this lack of preparation time, the Colombian has combined well with Sadio Mane (for whom he provided three assists) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (who teed him up for four clear-cut chances), among others.
With news having broken that Liverpool are prepared to break their transfer record to sign Darwin Nunez, Kopites are starting to dream of seeing the Uruguayan in their side next season. With the tremendous research, analysis and due diligence the club put into every deal they make, they will have a plan for how best to use the Benfica man should his signing be completed. His record in Portugal suggests one player should link up with him particularly well.
