Jurgen Klopp revealed that he’s never had managed who doesn’t stop smiling in training as much as Luis Diaz - and has tipped him for big things at Liverpool.

The Colombia international arrived at Anfield for a fee of up to £50 million including add-ons from Porto last month.

Diaz, 25, has made an instant impact for the Reds.

He impressed off the bench against Cardiff in the FA Cup before scintillating on full debut in the 2-0 win over Leicester.

Klopp’s delighted that Liverpool swooped for Diaz although he still needs some time to adapt to his methods.

The Reds boss said: “Luis is a top boy, top class player. He showed that already in his two appearances.

“Last game, he didn’t come on. Like it is for a new player, we have to get used to different things in the team.

“We had all other players fit and they know exactly what I want from them so we give Luis a little bit more time to adapt to it.

“But Luis is an incredible player and his joy and his love of football is so obvious.

“When you see him training, he cannot stop smiling. I’ve never had a player like this, it’s crazy and we are so so happy to have him here.

“We expect a lot from him in the future. Now but in the future.

“I have a good feeling it will be a really nice story for Luis at Liverpool.”
