Jurgen Klopp says he has “never had a player like” Liverpool’s Luis Diaz before
Jurgen Klopp has sung the praises of January signing Luis Diaz, saying he has “never had a player like” him before.

“Last game he didn’t come on. He is a new player, we have to get used to new things in a team, we have all other players fit and they know exactly what I want from them.
“We give Luis a little bit more time to adapt to it. He is an incredible player, his joy and love for football is so obvious.
“When you see him training, he cannot stop smiling. I have never had a player like this. It’s crazy. We are so, so happy to have him here. It’s absolutely great.
“We expect a lot from him in the future. Now already but in the future as well. I have a good feeling it will be a really nice story with Luis at Liverpool.”
