Porto expert gives lowdown on Luis Diaz
Liverpool are closing in on a shock £49m move for Porto winger Luis Diaz, with club representatives flying out to Argentina to get the deal over the line before Monday's transfer deadline.
The Colombia international is player that has been linked with the Reds throughout the transfer window, but a January move seemed unlikely with eyes initially on the summer.
However, Tottenham's approach for the player forced Liverpool's hand and now the Merseyside club are front and centre as a deal edges closer.
The Echo caught up with football writer and Porto fan Bruna Reis to get the lowdown on the Reds' target.

Luis Diaz shows dream Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah plan at Liverpool
Liverpool shocked the football world this morning with a surprise move for Luis Diaz.
The Reds are looking to seal a deal for the winger after hijacking Tottenham's bid with one of their own. The Colombian could move from FC Porto for around £37.5m.
It is a statement signing from the Reds and one that looks set to shape Jurgen Klopp's future attack.
Diaz will join up with Diogo Jota among others on Merseyside, and his arrival is likely to have quite a dramatic impact on the future of the Portuguese forward, who has scored 10 Premier League goals this season.
