Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer both really impressed by £50m Liverpool player under Arne Slot
Against Bournemouth on Saturday, Arne Slot was able to return his Liverpool team to winning ways domestically after a small hiccup against Nottingham Forest.
A brilliant Champions League away win at the San Siro dismissed any talk that Liverpool might be about to suffer a wobble under Slot, despite their lightning start.
Slot is clearly ꦯthe 🌺real deal, and although he’s not made any major tweaks to his squad on the transfer front, he’s definitely helped several players progress.
First and foremost, Ryan Grave🐷nberch has found a new purpose under his compatriot, a player who is now thriving as a number𒊎 six.
Gravenberch was probably the only person at Anfield who was pleased when Martin Zubimendi vetoed a move from Real Sociedad, knowing he was up 🐟to th꧃e task himself.
Gary Lineker can’t get over Luis Diaz’s work rate under Arne Slot
That being said, Gravenberch isn’t the only player who has enjoyed a significant improvement – Luis Diaz has also come on leaps and bounds.
Following two more goals on the weekend, in part assisted by Kepa Arrizabalaౠga, Diaz has now taken his tally to five goals for t♈he season.

Speaking on ‘’ podcast following the weekend, both Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer couldn’t help but 𒆙applaud the midfielder who is now paying off the Liverpool parted ꦓwith for his services.
And as well as his goal💖-scoring, the pu💧ndits were also impressed with another area of Diaz’s game under Slot.
Lineker said: “Diaz is on fire, obviously at pre🐷sent.”
Shearer replied: “Good player, isn’t he?”
Lineker: “He’s really good and he works his socks𝔉 off doesn’t he? He’s up and down, he’s quick.
“He’s dangerous when he gets🌺 the ball, he can beat players, he can score goals. He’s been a really good addition hasn’t he?”
Shearer: “They’ve got some re✱al options up front, Liverpool now. You’ve got Nunez coming, you’ve got Salah, y🏅ou’ve got Diaz, you’ve got Gakpo. You’ve got so many really good plates that you can pick from.”
Luis Diaz set for record breaking season at Liverpool
As mentioned, Diaz has now scored five goals in five league games this se🔯ason – Erling Haaland type numbers.
And💝 if he keeps this pace up, or anything close to it, 27-year-old Diaz could be set for the best goalscoring seaso🐭n of his career.
Currently, Diaz’s 14 goals in 18 games for ဣPorto in the 2021/22 Liga Portugal season is his highest – a campaign cut sho♊rt because of his move to Merseyside.
In a Liverpool shirt, Diaz’s highestܫ tally is📖 eight goals which he achieved during Jurgen Klopp’s final season, a record he’s surely on course to smash.
That being said, Liverpool are now scouting a full-back who Diaz has alre𓃲ady played against this season, ahead of a potential move in Ja𒆙nuary.
