Cody Gakpo had some kind words to say about his Liverpool teammate Luis Diaz, praising the Colombian forward for his skills and personality. Diaz recently made it clear that he is happy at Anfield and not looking to leave the club, putting an end to transfer rumors.
Gakpo described Diaz as a “really nice guy” with excellent dribbling, technique, vision, and overall talent on and off the pitch. Despite his impressive stats of 13 goals and five assists last season, Diaz has struggled with his finishing and decision-making at times.
One emotional moment for Diaz was when his father was kidnapped in Colombia, but he managed to make a triumphant return to the team with a crucial goal against Luton. It is expected that Diaz will play a significant role in the squad under Arne Slot’s management, continuing to pose a threat to opposing defenses.
Looking ahead, both Diaz and Gakpo will aim to shine under the new head coach, with Gakpo having contributed to 22 goals in 53 games last season. With their talents and determination, they are set to be key players for Liverpool in the upcoming season.
