# Liverpool: Fans erupt over Luis Diaz transfer rumour

**A number of Liverpool supporters are hugely excited after the Reds were linked with a January move for in-form Porto attacker Luis Diaz.**

Jurgen Klopp’s men are in superb form at the moment, responding brilliantly to the defeat at West Ham by picking up consecutive wins against Arsenal, Porto and Southampton.

Liverpool seem to have clicked into gear at just the right time, with a fascinating Premier League title race with Chelsea and Manchester City starting to take shape.

The Reds will almost certainly have to make do without star attackers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for a chunk of January, though, due to their [participation in the Africa Cup of Nations](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/11/liverpool-still-unclear-when-salah-mane-keita-will-leave-for-afcon/).

It means that a new forward could be brought in during the next transfer window, and according to [Record](https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-bwin/fc-porto/detalhe/klopp-encantado-com-luis-diaz) \[via [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1464898646202363908?s=20) on Twitter\], Klopp has given his ‘approval’ over the signing of Diaz.

The 24-year-old has [scored 10 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/377168/Show/Luis-D%C3%ADaz) in 12 Primeira Liga appearances this season and has come up against Liverpool in the Champions League. He gave a decent account of himself at Anfield last week, with [two key passes and three successful dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/377168/MatchStatistics/Luis-D%C3%ADaz) in his team’s 2-0 defeat.

The Colombian has struck 10 goals in 12 league games for Porto in the current campaign, also netting twice in Europe ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-diaz/leistungsdaten/spieler/480692)), and he is the team’s highest-ranking performer according to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/297/Show/Portugal-FC-Porto).
