Why are Liverpool in for Diaz?Liverpool were initially looking to strike a summer deal for Diaz, but have brought forward their interest after Spurs accelerated theirs. Julian Ward, the soon-to-be sporting director, is leading negotiations, assisted by the outgoing Michael Edwards, and Diaz - who is currently away with Colombia in Argentina - will sign a five-and-a-half-year contract at Anfield.
