Luis Diaz's mother reveals what Liverpool forward has said about manager and dressing room

Luis Diaz's mother has revealed the forward is "maturing" at Liverpool and his team-mates have welcomed him into the dressing room with open arms.

The Colombian, 25, has made an instant impact at Anfield since leaving Porto in January. He's scored six goals and provided four assists for Liverpool this season, creating an understanding with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

Diaz was part of Jurgen Klopp's side that lifted the EFL Cup in February, as the Reds aim to become the first English team in history to win the quadruple. They're in the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League - to be played against Chelsea and Real Madrid respectively - and are second in the Premier League as the run-in reaches its finale.

"He is maturing; I see him more serene in everything he does, very disciplined in everything," said Diaz's mother, as quoted by Colombian magazine Semana. "He is very serious, and responsible in all his work, and that’s why he has done so well.

"God gives him blessings so that he can continue to excel. He is loving with his dad, with everyone, we talk every day. He tells me, 'Mummy, you’re the best mummy in the world; I love you very much'. He doesn’t hold grudges against anyone because he’s always been simple since he was a child, humble; I’ve seen him the same way since he was a child.

"He tells me, ‘The manager likes me; when I play my games, he hugs me' - and he has also been able to get along with his team-mates. They welcome him for being the way he is."
