He plays like Diaz: Liverpool could repeat Salah success with swoop for £54m "magician"- opinion

His clinical edge, coupled with his athletic skill, has led the stats-based site to liken him to Luis Diaz, which is perhaps especially interesting to those of a Liverpool persuasion given that Diaz, nearly 28, is facing uncertainty around his future due to contractual hesitation from FSG, with claims from South America speaking of 'disagreements' between the respective parties.

Diaz hasn't scored in the Premier League since September but he's an electric player, one of the finest left wingers in the country. The fact that Pulisic could mimic his style within Slot's squad only bodes well for his potential success.

In fact, let's forget altogether the Milano ace's previous struggles on English shores, for like Salah, he is a Chelsea reject who jumped ship to Italy in order to develop and enhance the qualities that were always at his core.

Salah, indeed, scored twice for Chelsea across 19 appearances before moving to Serie A, but has of course been one of the best players in the world ever since signing for Liverpool in a £34m package in 2017, aged 25.

It goes to show that development in football isn't linear and that Pulisic, a one-time wonderkid, can still reach that high ground that was said to have his name on it.

His physicality has been honed, and so too has his eye for goal. Now it's up to Liverpool to weigh up the feasibility of a move and strike.

Given that certain Premier League rivals want a piece, Slot might be wise to nudge FSG toward granting a transfer move in 2025, especially if Diaz leaves.
