Luis Diaz's performances in the Champions League helped convince Liverpool that the winger was worth investing in.
The Colombian made a January move from Porto for £37.5m, which could rise to £50m, and has made an immediate impact at Anfield. Diaz had scored 16 times for the Portuguese side before his midseason switch to the Premier League. He was highly rated in Portugal and played a pivotal role as his former side made the last eight in Europe last term.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus were beaten en route to the quarter-finals whilst Diaz had also made his mark in England, scoring against Manchester City at the Etihad for the Primeira Liga outfit. His solo effort had put Porto ahead before they were pegged back, but the Colombian's efforts had left their impression.
