Happy on Merseyside
Luis Diaz is loving life at Liverpool and cannot wait to get his hands on more silverware.
The Colombian, 25, signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Reds in January after trading life at Porto for the Premier League.
He has already notched his first goal for the club and lifted the Carabao Cup at Wembley last month.
As Liverpool prepare to head to Brighton on Saturday, Diaz is relishing what would be his 10th appearance should he feature at the Amex.
He said: “From a personal point of view, it’s just how I wanted to try to start and how I dreamed of starting.
“I knew that I’d come to a very competitive club involved in everything. I’m really happy how it’s started and long may it continue.
“To see us win [the Carabao Cup] was fantastic.
“And the way in which it came about, after penalties, you can see how much that meant to the fans.
“We know they always support us through thick and thin, so they certainly made themselves felt on the pitch throughout the game and the penalties themselves. It was fantastic.
“It’s all about keep working hard, trying to grow as a player and as a human being, as I try to keep contributing to the cause and to Liverpool.”
Dier wants consistency
Eric Dier has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates as Tottenham approach the final 12 games of what has been a rollercoaster campaign.
Spurs head to Manchester United on Saturday knowing they must win to maintain their hopes of gatecrashing the Premier League’s top four.
And Dier, 28, is bullish about their chances after back-to-back league wins over Leeds and Everton produced NINE goals.
The England international said: “We have 12 games left. We just have to put all our focus and energy in trying to finish the season in the best possible way, to be consistent, emotionally, every day to try to perform well.
“We have a lot of time in between games as well, so there are no excuses, we can recover well.
“We went through a difficult period, four away games in a row, didn’t get all the results we wanted, but now we need to really focus on that consistency because every game is so important.”
