Darwin Nunez names the most skilful player at Liverpool who has even more tricks than Mohamed Salah
Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League right now, and you don’t reach that point unless you have some very talented players in your squad.
Liverpool do have some very technical players in their side. Curtis Jones is a real technician, and while we haven’t seen much of it this season, Federico Chiesa is also a real handful on the ball.
Speaking to Pro Direct Soccer, Darwin Nunez has been asked to name the most skilful player at Liverpool, and he gave a rather interesting answer.
Mohamed Salah would probably be the stock answer for most here. After all, Salah is in Ballon d’Or winning form at the moment, and he’s basically untouchable on the pitch.
However, according to Nunez, the most skilful player at Liverpool is actually Luis Diaz.
Darwin Nunez names Luis Diaz as the most skilful player at Liverpool
Nunez was asked to name who is the most skilful player at Liverpool.
The Uruguayan certainly had to think about it, but he ultimately named Diaz.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this sort of thing said about Diaz.
Indeed, Cody Gakpo also named Diaz as the most skilful player at Liverpool, and it’s not hard to understand why.
While a player like Salah may be more effective than Diaz, the Colombian is more aesthetically pleasing as a player as he’s able to beat his man with tricks and flicks rather than relying on physical attributes such as pace and strength too much.
Luis Diaz’s recent form analysed
Diaz has earned plaudits for his performances for Liverpool this season, but, in recent times, his form has dipped.
Indeed, Diaz hasn’t been at his best as of late, failing to make much of an impact since the turn of the year.
| Games | Goals | Assists | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Diaz Premier League stats in 2025 | 6 | 0 | 1 |
The man is yet to score a single goal this year, and he only has one assist to his name in the Premier League in 2025.
As Nunez says, Diaz is perhaps the most skilful player at Liverpool, but if those skills aren’t leading to any sort of end product, then he’s not fulfilling his duties as an attacker.
Diaz needs to rediscover his best form as Liverpool look to secure the Premier League title in the final months of the season.
Liverpool dropped points against Everton on Wednesday evening, and they need to put that right quickly as they continue their march to becoming champions for the first time in five years.
