Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has told BBC Sport that Luis Diaz was brilliant against West Ham United at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Henderson has been hugely impressed by how Diaz has done for Liverpool since his move from FC Porto in the January transfer window.

The England international midfielder believes that the Colombian winger was brilliant against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

And, according to Henderson, Diaz did well against West Ham at Anfield.

Liverpool won the Premier League match 1-0.

Henderson said about Diaz: “He’s hit the ground running. He’s been fantastic. He was immense in the [Carabao Cup] final and again today brilliant. He’s fit straight in, pressing and winning the ball high up the pitch.”

Just getting started

Like Henderson, we also think that Diaz has been superb for Liverpool since he moved to Anfield.

The Colombia international winger is starting games quite regularly, and he is producing the goods.

Regular followers of the Premier League have been quite impressed by Diaz, who is only 25.

Diaz is just getting started at Liverpool, and we think that there will be a lot more to come from him.

Against West Ham at Anfield on Saturday evening, Diaz took five shots but none was on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 87.2%, won two headers, took 69 touches, attempted one dribble, and put in one cross.
