Jurgen Klopp impressed by Luis Diaz's Liverpool impact

Klopp has hailed Luis Diaz's dynamic Premier League debut as one of the best he has seen from a new player. Klopp beat Tottenham in the race to sign Diaz from Porto for £37.5 million ($50 million) during the January transfer window. The Colombia forward has made an instant impact in his first two appearances, coming off the bench against Cardiff in the FA Cup before starting in Thursday's 2-0 win over Leicester in the Premier League.

Klopp is well aware there is usually an adaptation period for players coming to the Premier League for the first time, but the German likes what he has seen from the 25-year-old so far. "It was his first game and was probably one of the best I saw from a new player, that's true, because he looked completely natural," Klopp said on Friday. "But it was only a first game and we have to see how he adapts to working with intensity and all these kinds of things in the Premier League.

There is no rush. "Last night was a very good opportunity to start him because of Sadio not being here yet and Mo (Salah) coming back from an incredibly tense (AFCON) tournament. And yes, he showed up." With Senegal forward Sadio Mane now back with the squad after returning from his success at the African Cup of Nations, Diaz faces a fight to retain his place.

Klopp also has Mohamed Salah available to start at Burnley on Sunday after the Egypt forward came on as a substitute against Leicester in his first appearance since his country's loss in the African Cup of Nations final. "Sadio will be available. He will come now this morning for training and will be in full training.
