Liverpool look set for a summer of change as Arne Slot sinks his teeth into the project at Anfield.

The Reds moved a step closer to Premier League title glory on Sunday with a 2-1 win over West Ham.

But just as they have been for a little while now, Liverpool were unconvincing in victory against the Hammers.

Slot suggested change is to come after the game as he prepares to wield the axe on several members of the Liverpool squad.

One player who has been suggested as one of those under threat is Luis Diaz.

But with two in two since, supporters on social media site X are keen to keep him at the club.

“Dummest idea ever to sell Luis Diaz,” says one fan.

“Mo salah and Luis Diaz have been sensational so far, definitely shouldn’t sell Diaz he has been brilliant,” someone else suggested.

“Liverpool fans wanting to get rid of Luis Diaz after having his best season for the club is the equivalent of Newcastle fans wanting to sell Isak, Forest fans to sell Wood, Wolves fans to sell Cunha, Bournemouth fans to sell Kluivert and Brentford fans to sell Wissa,” was the opinion of one fan.

“Luis Diaz is an elite LW, and should be down the list of forwards we look to sell in the summer,” added another.

11 non penalty league goals.”

“Never want to see Luis Diaz hate again, he literally covers every blade of grass.

Unreal,” said another, with someone else even suggesting Diaz is the best winger in the world right now.

“Luis Diaz.

Vinicius Jr in the mud,” they declared.

Despite fans’ assertions, it does feel as though there is a good chance Diaz will indeed be moved on this summer.

His output of 15 goals and five assists across all competitions should not be sniffed at, but with Saudi interest and a contract standoff, it feels the right time for Liverpool to cut him loose.

Having said that, fans are right to cast doubt on just how well Slot could replace him in the starting XI.

“There’s not 4 LWs better in the world than Luis Diaz and that’s being generous,” one supporter claimed after Sunday’s match.

“Luis Diaz – only 8 players have scored more non penalty premier league goals than him this season,” added another.
