Why Diaz is in demand
The Colombian enjoyed his most prolific season for a single club as the Reds won the league title in 2024-25, scoring 17 goals.

Unsurprisingly, Diaz's shot conversion rate of 18.3% comfortably ranks as his best in a Premier League season.

Many of his other attributes stood out statistically, with Diaz hovering just outside the top 10 in the Premier League for most combined goals and assists (18), shots on target (30), chances created (56) and dribbles completed (52).
His defensive attributes and renowned work-rate are also evidenced by the fact he won possession in the final third on 22 occasions, more than any other Liverpool player relative to their time spent on the pitch.

Xavi Simons prefers a move to the Premier League
reports Xavi Simons prefers to move to either the Premier League if he is to leave RB Leipzig this summer. After missing out on Champions League football and European football altogether, the future of Simons has been up in the air. Bayern Munich have been linked with the Dutch international, but he is said to have a preference for his future. The 22-year-old wants to move to the Premier League and has brought in an agent by the name of Ali Barat, who has connections in England to try and engineer a move away. It is expected that Barat will approach Chelsea for Simons. However, if Simons is to leave Leipzig in the summer, the Bundesliga side wants a fee of significantly more than the €50m they paid to bring the Dutch international to the club permanently in the winter. A sale of Simons would significantly help Leipzig balance the books when it comes to their spending this summer. So far, they have spent €92m and do not look like stopping. The 22-year-old's departure would greatly reduce their net spend. However, as Leipzig is backed by Red Bull, they can spend whatever they want, and debt will not be a problem. GGFN | Jack Meenan
