Luis Diaz comfortably eclipses top Liverpool forwards’ goal contributions — he’s in double digits

They let him go this summer.

Luis Diaz’s electric start at Bayern Munich has put him well clear of his former Liverpool teammates, with the winger recording twice as many goal contributions as any player at Anfield this season.

Since joining Bayern in the summer, Diaz has hit immediate top form, tallying 16 goal contributions across competitions.

His output has dwarfed that of Liverpool’s current forwards, with Mohamed Salah on eight, and Hugo Ekitike plus Cody Gakpo each producing seven.

Liverpool have coped following Diaz’s departure, but the numbers underline the scale of the talent they allowed to leave.

At Bayern, the Colombian has quickly become a focal point for Vincent Kompany’s attack, delivering goals, assists and constant threat from the wing.

For Liverpool, the comparison highlights both the redistribution of attacking responsibility and the need for others to raise their output. For Bayern, Diaz already looks like one of the signings of the season.

Rio Ngumoha shows his class for England during the international break: Stunning goal and assist

He makes it look easy

Rio Ngumoha continues to impress for the England youth setup. His latest performances prove just how much talent he has — whether he’s creating or scoring.

In the latest match vs Latvia, Rio managed to socre a stunner leaving the goalkeeper no chances.

Earlier, in the 2–0 win over Lithuania, Ngumoha put on a masterclass. He picked up the ball on the left, beat three defenders with quick feet and strength, then delivered a pinpoint cross to Shumaira Mheuka, who tapped it in.

It was a brilliant assist that showed just how dangerous he can be.

How Jarrod Bowen feels about Tottenham transfer links as West Ham flirt with relegation

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping a close eye on one of West Ham’s key men, as fresh details emerge about Jarrod Bowen’s stance following growing speculation around his future.

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are rivals, but both clubs put their differences aside in the summer as they did business for the first time since 2011.

Spurs appear to have benefited the most from that agreement, as they currently sit fifth in the Premier League table with Mohammed Kudus impressing, while West Ham are struggling at the other end in 18th place.

Tottenham are pushing to secure Champions League football once more this season and are also looking to poach another of West Ham’s talisman, Jarrod Bowen.

Tottenham interest grows as Jarrod Bowen stance revealed

Spurs’ interest in Bowen is no surprise, with reports in recent weeks linking the Lilywhites with a potential move for the Englishman.

Bowen has been one of the few bright sparks for West Ham this season, and it would be a major blow for the Hammers if they were to lose him.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, as Liverpool are also keen, with Arne Slot’s side said to be seeking more attacking depth following the departure of Luis Diaz.

However, the same report adds that Bowen remains fully committed to West Ham despite the interest from elsewhere.

Speaking to Football Insider, journalist Pete O’Rourke highlighted Bowen’s importance to the Hammers, explaining that he is virtually untouchable within the current squad.

“He is probably the one and only untouchable player in that squad right now. I think most other players that are in that squad would be for sale at the right price as well, but Bowen is the heartbeat of that West Ham team.

“They need to keep him and Jarrod will be looking to build his team around him. He is on a long-term contract until 2030, so it is not like West Ham are under any real pressure to sell Jarrod Bowen as well.

“But no surprise that clubs will be looking at him. Tottenham, Liverpool because even in that struggling side, he still scores goals and he is a proven Premier League player.”

West Ham stance on a Bowen transfer

Reports from a few days ago also revealed West Ham’s stance regarding interest in Bowen.

It is understood that the Hammers are aware of Spurs’ growing admiration for the winger, and while it has been suggested that almost every player in their squad could be sold for the right price, Bowen is not one of them.

Bowen has been in immense form for West Ham, and it appears that not even the lure of Champions League football would be enough to convince him to leave the London Stadium at this stage
