Peter Crouch says one Liverpool player is now worth £100m

Peter Crouch has now claimed that Luis Diaz is now worth £100m after the Liverpool winger’s performance against Everton.

Speaking on TNT Sports, the pundit lauded the Colombian international’s display on Saturday, with Diaz winning the key penalty that set Liverpool on their way to a 2-0 win at Anfield.

Crouch said: “I love Diaz. He’s been like a new signing, like bringing another £100m player in, because obviously his injuries last season. Him coming in just changes things.”

With Diaz missing a good chunk of last season through injury, the South American’s return to full fitness has been a welcome return for Liverpool.

The attacker has cemented himself as a key player for the Reds in an interchangeable frontline, and Diaz’s performance on Saturday highlighted his qualities.

Indeed, whilst a valuation of £100m might be steep, there’s no denying that Liverpool landed a bargain in Diaz, and the winger has repaid his transfer fee in full already.

Diaz will want to take his game to new heights with Liverpool

To pardon the cliche, Diaz’s return to full fitness has felt like a new signing for Liverpool, and the winger will now want to take his game to new heights.

The forward has been in impressive form for the Reds already this campaign, and Diaz will want to push the Anfield side back to the UEFA Champions League and beyond.

Performances this season have been solid, and for Diaz, the Colombian international seems keen to push himself into that world-class bracket that every Liverpool fan knows the forward can reach.
