Luis Diaz has 16 goals and six assists in his 69 Liverpool appearances to date but Jamie Carragher hasn’t been fully convinced by his most recent appearances.
Speaking on ‘The Gary Neville Podcast’, the Scouser said: “Diaz just looks a shadow of himself since those knee injuries he had last season.
“Obviously, he’s had family problems this season but I really feel that Diaz, especially on that left side, has got to have a really big second half of the season or I’m sure Liverpool will be going into the market in the summer.”
