Liverpool: Luis Diaz pictured in training kit ahead of official transfer

Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Porto and Colombia winger Luis Diaz on Sunday after he was seen going through the formalities ahead of the expected official announcement.

Diaz - who has been playing his football at Porto since 2019 - was seen signing his contract with the Merseyside club on Sunday morning.

The winger was also seen holding a Liverpool shirt while dressed head-to-toe in the club's training kit.

The news of his deal will come as a blow to Tottenham, who were also interested in acquiring his services.

Liverpool made their first move on Thursday after Tottenham's bid for the winger established that Porto would sell below Diaz's £66million buy out clause.

The details of Diaz's deal with the Reds have not been disclosed as of yet, but the Colombian international - known as 'noodle' because of his wiry frame - is expected to have signed a five-year contract with the club.

Diaz will bolster the attacking options available to Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool pursue Manchester City at the top of the Premier League and try to win the Champions League and the domestic cups.

Liverpool fans have taken to social media to welcome the imminent new signing to the club and express their delight as his arrival.

One fan responded to the image of Diaz holding a Liverpool shirt saying: 'Let's goooooooooooo'.

Another said: 'Best signing of the winter'. While one Twitter user wrote: 'Welcome to Anfield'.
