Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has lavished praise on new signing Luis Diaz.

The club surprised many supporters by announcing the signing of the talented winger from FC Porto in January.

Diaz managed a brief appearance against Cardiff City in the FA Cup, and will want to get more game time against Leicester City in the Premier League on Thursday.

Asked about Diaz, Alexander-Arnold told the club's website: "It was exciting, it is always exciting when we get a new player in to see how he will fit in, how he plays, how he is in training, what he is about, but he's fit in straight away.

"His English isn't amazing but we've got the Brazilians and the Spanish lads who can speak to him and translate for him, so there's a lot of them that will do that and help him until the end of the season.

"It was an amazing half an hour he got, I think him and Diogo had a little argument about whose assist it was today… I'm not quite sure, I didn't want to get involved and I stayed impartial to that! It was an amazing start.

"It summed up how we want to play: winning the ball back and creating straight away, getting the ball forward and he has hit the ground running so the fans have every reason to be excited about this."
