Luis Diaz admits Liverpool were gutted when they discovered Sadio Mane was leaving the club earlier this year.
The Colombian joined the Reds in January of this year, meaning he only played half-a-season with Mane before he joined Bayern Munich in the summer window. Kop bosses had hoped to tie the 30-year-old to a new deal on Merseyside, but after it became clear he wanted a new challenge, they sanctioned his departure.
Diaz has helped fill the void left by Mane and has become an ever-present for Jurgen Klopp on the left-hand side his old team-mate would often find themselves. But despite his impressive performances, Liverpool have got off to a bumpy start, drawing four of their seven Premier League fixtures.
