Liverpool hijacks Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of Luis Diaz

While Tottenham Hotspur have missed out on signing a few players over the past few weeks, none of them would be as disappointing as missing the opportunity to sign Porto star winger Luis Diaz. Reports suggest that Porto had accepted an offer from Spurs for the Colombian, only until the Reds swung the deal in their favour at the last minute.

Luis Diaz could help Liverpool in title battle against Manchester City

Liverpool seems to be the only side that has an outside chance of fighting Manchester City for the Premier League title this season as Pep Guardiola's side have achieved a strong lead at the top of the table. The Citizens currently lead the Reds by nine points, but Jurgen Klopp's side does have a game in hand. With the new signing of Luis Diaz, Liverpool are likely to have more options available to them as they try and take this season's title fight right down to the wire.
