Luis Diaz has been pictured in Liverpool colours for the first time as his £37 million move from Porto nears confirmation. In a move that appears to be yet another masterstroke from the Reds' transfer hierarchy they snuck in ahead of Tottenham to land the 25-year-old, who has been in sensational form this term with 14 goals in just 18 league appearances.
