Liverpool news: Trent Alexander-Arnold reaches milestone as Luis Diaz hailed

Liverpool closed the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to three points after edging past West Ham at Anfield on Saturday evening.

Sadio Mane scored the only goal of the game to hand Jurgen Klopp's men all three points.

Trent Alexander-Arnold shone and the England star wasn't the only player to impress against the Hammers, with new boy Luis Diaz producing another scintillating display.

Graeme Souness has certainly admired the Colombian's impact since he arrived from Porto in January, and claimed his signing has given the entire club a lift.

Meanwhile, Mane's winner was another timely reminder of his worth to the Reds with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2023.

Here are Mirror Football's latest Liverpool headlines.

Souness hails Diaz

The Reds swooped in to pip Tottenham to a £37million deal for the Colombian attacker in the final days of the January transfer window.

And Diaz has adapted seamlessly to life in the Premier League.

Mane makes his point

Andy Dunn writes: At times, he can become something of a forgotten Mane.

How much airtime, for example, is taken up with debate about Sadio’s contract situation compared to the hours given to Mohamed Salah’s position?

After all, their current agreements end at the same time, the summer of 2023.

You suspect Jurgen Klopp’s keenness to get two new deals sorted will not vary in strength.
