Liverpool hero John Barnes names his player of the season

Luis Diaz has been in sensational form for the Reds

Liverpool legend John Barnes has named Luis Diaz as his Liverpool player of the season so far.

The Colombian winger has been in sensational form since joining the Reds from Porto in January, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 13 Premier League appearances.

Diaz has also impressed in the Champions League, scoring two goals in two games.

Barnes: Diaz has been 'outstanding'

Barnes believes that Diaz has been Liverpool's best player this season.

"He's been outstanding," Barnes told BonusCodeBets.

"He's got great pace, skill, and he's a good finisher. He's also very good at creating chances for others."

Barnes believes that Diaz has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.

"He's still young, but he's already showing that he has the quality to be a top player," Barnes said.

"I think he can go on to become one of the best players in the world."

Diaz has helped Liverpool challenge for the quadruple

Diaz has played a key role in Liverpool's success this season.

The Reds are still in contention for the quadruple, having already won the Carabao Cup and reached the final of the FA Cup.

Diaz will be hoping to continue his good form in the coming weeks as Liverpool look to win the Premier League and Champions League.

Mohamed Salah has been overshadowed by Diaz

Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool's top scorer for the past two seasons, but he has been overshadowed by Diaz this season.

The Egyptian has scored 20 goals in all competitions this season, but he has not been as influential as Diaz.

Barnes believes that Salah has been affected by the arrival of Diaz.

"I think Salah has been a bit frustrated by Diaz's arrival," Barnes said.

"He's used to being the main man, but now he has to share the limelight with Diaz."

Barnes believes that Salah will need to adapt to the new situation.

"Salah is a great player, but he needs to find a way to play with Diaz," Barnes said.

"If he can do that, then Liverpool will be even more dangerous."
