Luis Diaz makes 'incredible' Liverpool claim and explains why he's ignoring Alexis Mac Allister

Luis Diaz believes he has made "incredible" progress at Liverpool - and is convinced the Reds will be challenging for honours this season.

Diaz has been in impressive form this term, scoring three goals and providing one assist in six starts having enjoyed a profitable warm-up programme during the summer after fully recovering from a long-term knee problem that ruined his previous campaign.

The Colombian winger would have had another goal were it not for his strike in the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday being wrongly chalked off to prompt the ongoing controversy over the process of VAR.

And the 26-year-old considers himself having made great strides since arriving from Porto for £50million in January 2022.

“The process and progression that I’ve been going through up to the present time is just incredible,” said Diaz. “I’ve really learned a huge amount of things and I’m feeling that more and more all the time, not just in terms of my football but in my decision-making generally. Personally, I also feel in a really good place.

“As for the future, I can see myself winning lots of trophies with this great club, starting with trying to win everything that is up for grabs this season. And doing exactly what I know best, which is playing football, scoring goals, making assists. And feeling good on the pitch, feeling happy and enjoying it all, which is the main thing.

"I think I’ll carry on in the same way, with that same mentality of not getting carried away and keeping my feet on the ground, in the knowledge that the hard work I put in each day will keep improving
