Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Luis Diaz cannot be called a 'big January signing' because of the lack of interest in the former Porto forward at the time. Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham were rumoured to be keeping a close eye on the Colombian.
After beginning life at Anfield in a manner no one could have imagined, fans of top clubs in the Premier League may be asking why Diaz was not of interest to their club given that he has taken to life in England so well.
The 25-year-old has slotted into the Liverpool front three when selected by Jurgen Klopp and has been a breath of fresh air with his direct running and determination giving right-backs in the Premier League a headache. Diaz has run the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea ragged at times.
