Liverpool have become famous for taking advantage of deals as and when they present themselves in the right place at the right time.
The most recent example is the decision to bring Luis Diaz to the club in January this year. The Colombia international was a target for Liverpool, but the original plan was to wait until the summer to make a move.
Thanks to Tottenham Hotspur’s interest, however, that plan changed. Jurgen Klopp and co did not want to let one of their main transfer targets slip through their fingers just because they wanted to wait.
