Diogo Jota says £49m player is the best player at Liverpool when it comes to dribbling

Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world, but they don’t have lots of players who you would describe as great dribblers.

The Reds are a brilliant attacking team, but very few of their goals come from winding runs or individual skills to beat a defender.

However, there is one player who has that level of flair about them.

Indeed, Luis Diaz is one of the most effective ball-carrying attackers in the Premier League, and speaking to , Diogo Jota has named Diaz as the best dribbler at Liverpool.

Luis Diaz is the best dribbler at Liverpool

Jota spoke about who the best dribbler at Liverpool is and he settled on the man.

Diaz is a fantastic dribbler, and according to Jota he is the best in the Liverpool squad when it comes to carrying the ball.

“Best dribbler?” Jota was asked.

“Uh, Lucho (Luis Diaz),” Jota said.

Luis Diaz may be the best dribbler in the Premier League

The art of dribbling is dying in the Premier League.

With Pep Guardiola’s style of play influencing every manager in the league from Mikel Arteta to Vincent Kompany, individuality has very much vanished from the top level.

However, Diaz is very much an exception to that rule. The Colombian has bags of ability on the ball, and he’s not afraid to try different things in order to get past his marker.

Diaz is a truly incredible footballer who loves to drive at defenders, and his ability to keep the ball under control closely and accelerate at a rapid rate at the same time is absolutely fantastic.

Diaz is one of the most dangerous players in all of the Premier League, and Liverpool are very lucky to have him.
