Tottenham Hotspur was in the running to land Colombia international Luis Díaz from FC Porto during the January transfer window. The north London club wanted to upgrade their attack and had their eyes on the 25-year-old.
However, Díaz would end up with Liverpool FC, and the winger is making an impact right out of the gate. This weekend, he scored a goal and provided two key passes against Brighton & Hove Albion FC.
Following the 2-0 win against The Seagulls, English football pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher went on Twitter to troll Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for their inability to land the former Porto man.
“Luis Diaz’s impact could turn this season into a special one for Liverpool the club only signed him in January because Spurs made an offer, thanks Daniel!” Carragher tweeted.
Now, Tottenham did secure their winger in Dejan Kulusevski, who has also impressed since arriving in north London from Juventus in January. The 21-year-old has scored two goals and recorded three assists in seven Premier League fixtures.
It’s a circumstance where both clubs are making an impact with their new club, so a situation where both sides are happy.
