Paddy Kenny, who has less experience than the Rio Ferdinands, Michael Owen, among other top figures in world football, spoke about Luis Díaz and his performance at Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Much has played the trust that the strategist has given him, and how protected the Colombian is by his teammates. So much so that it is curious that his best ‘friend’ on campus is Curtis Jones when he does not speak the language.
The Irishman, Paddy Kenny who played for Sheffield United, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United and Bolton Wanderers commented that he has had a great countenance at Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool. So much so that he thinks he is the best January signing of all time.
Luis Díaz is fighting all possible cups. He has already won the Carabao, he will play in the final of the FA Cup and the Champions League and, furthermore, he is still in the fight against Manchester City in the definition of the title.
His contributions have also made Liverpool alive in all those competitions. The assist against Villarreal at Anfield, the goal against this same rival at La Cerámica, and now, the score against Tottenham that appeared at the right time to say that they were still present in the Premier League fight.
Kenny spoke to Football Insider and was clear in saying that he is the best signing, ‘what an impact he has had, he must be the best January signing ever. He’s only been there a few weeks and he’s already one of the key players. You bring him in to change the game in a Champions League semi-final and he really does it.’
For the former Irish player, it will be more than vital in the Champions League final, ‘they have done it again. I think Diaz will play a big role in the final weeks of the season. He looks too good every time he plays. One would expect him to start in that Champions League final. He’s just brilliant, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he scores the key goal in one of Liverpool’s finals.
