Tottenham have been strongly linked with Diaz by Sky Sports, but now Don Balon suggest Liverpool are preparing to try and sign him for around €55million.

The report adds that the 25-year-old dreams of a move to Anfield, so it could be that the Reds would be the clear favourites to beat Spurs to this signing.

Don Balon also suggest Diaz could be a good long-term replacement for Salah, who will be in the final year of his contract next season.

This is a blow for Tottenham, however, who have not had the kind of positive transfer window Antonio Conte needed.

Diaz would surely be an upgrade on Steven Bergwijn and other under-performing attacking players in the THFC squad, but it’s easy to see why a move to link up with Jurgen Klopp would be more appealing right now.
