Klopp has 'no idea' how Luis Diaz communicates with Curtis Jones and Elliott

Jurgen Klopp has joked that he has 'no idea' how Luis Diaz communicates with English team-mates Curtis Jones and Luis Diaz.

Liverpool's £37million January signing has made a huge impact since joining from Porto, even though he can't speak the language.

Though some might think this could make it tough for a player to settle into a new squad, Klopp has revealed that he is still able to communicate with his new team-mates and has already forged some close relationships.

He said: 'It's so much to him more than to other players really. He communicates with everybody without really speaking the language.

'Yes, there's the Spanish faction that's no problem they are really close and helped him so much.

'Thiago, Fabinho, Alisson, Bobby (Firmino), all these guys a lot, Adrian is great in this aspect.

'He's really close with Curtis, he's really close with Harvey, I have no idea how they talk to be honest but it's on an emotional basis they are close and they were after a week and it's really strange, but it's up to him.'

Diaz made an outstanding contribution off the bench on Tuesday, helping Liverpool come from behind to beat Villarreal 3-2 in Spain, and win the tie 5-2 on aggregate to reach the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris.

Liverpool famously beat Tottenham to the signing of the 25-year-old Colombian - a side who they play on Saturday evening.

Asked to explain the impact Diaz has made ahead of the game, he said: 'There's enough space in each squad in the world for a world class player, that's why we were so desperate to get him.

'If you go through our Champions League games when we played Porto, he was still there.

'So it's really strange situation, now he goes to the final with us which is amazing, you could see what it means to him.

'Really, thank god we made that decision as it helped everywhere (in the team).

Liverpool could go top of the table should they beat Tottenham on Saturday, before Manchester City play Newcastle on Sunday.
