Jurgen Klopp's assistant reveals how a Zoom call while on holiday helped seal deal for Luis Diaz

Jurgen Klopp's assistant Pep Lijnders has revealed how a Zoom call helped Liverpool convince Luis Diaz to sign for the club in January.

The Colombian moved to the Reds at the start of the calendar year after they struck a £37.5million deal with Porto - and consequently pipped Tottenham to the winger's signature.

In his new book 'Intensity: Inside Liverpool FC - Our Identity', Ljinders revealed how the prospect of playing with Virgil van Dijk and the Reds' impressive trophy cabinet is what eventually drove the deal over the line.
