Dion Dublin has raved about Liverpool winger Luis Diaz on BBC Sport.

The former Manchester United player believes that Diaz has fit in at Liverpool perfectly.

The BBC Sport pundit made the comments about the Colombia international winger ahead of the Premier League match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

Diaz scored for the Reds.

Liverpool won 2-0.

Dublin said about Diaz: ” Luiz Diaz has come into the Premier League and just fitted in at that club.

“He looks like a Liverpool player. He has great pace. He never wants to pass the ball backwards – always wants to play one-twos and go forward.

“That’s the way Liverpool are. Jurgen Klopp has recruited incredibly well.”

Luis Diaz already a Liverpool fan-favourite

We agree with Dublin. In our opinion, Diaz has slotted in at Liverpool perfectly and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.

Liverpool paid FC Porto £37 million in transfer fees (Sky Sports) to sign the 25-year-old in the January transfer window.

Diaz played well for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final agains Chelsea and is starting games regularly for the Reds in the Premier League.

The winger has scored two goals in five Premier League appearances for Liverpool.

Diaz has also created one big chance.

In our view, for Liverpool to win the Premier League and the Champions League this season, Diaz will have to be on top form in the final weeks and months of the campaign.
