Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson welcome Luis Diaz to Liverpool with big hugs as the new £37.5m signing gears up for his potential debut against Cardiff... but Jurgen Klopp insists he won't be thrown in at the deep end on Merseyside

Daily Mail | February 5, 2022

New Liverpool star Luis Diaz received a warm welcome from Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson upon his arrival at the club on Friday.

Diaz, 25, completed an initial £37.5million move to the Reds from Porto on transfer deadline day, snubbing their Premier League rivals Tottenham in the process.

The Colombia forward, who scored 16 goals for Porto in the first half of the season, only arrived on Merseyside at 10am on Friday after waiting for work permit forms in Paris.
