Luis Diaz has only been in England for a matter of weeks, but he already looks the business.
Liverpool 's new recruit has wasted no time in announcing himself to the Anfield faithful following a number of captivating cameos since his January switch from Porto.
He made an immediate impact after being thrust into the action during the Reds 2-0 win over Inter Milan in midweek before following that up with a dazzling display, and a goal, during Saturday's 3-1 win over Norwich.
The fact that it's taken Diaz just two matches to open his Premier League account is impressive - but it's the manner in which the Colombian wizard took his maiden Anfield strike that should see him become exempt from Jurgen Klopp's preferred strategy of easing new recruits into life on Merseyside.
Klopp has shown a tendency to gradually introduce new signings into the team.
That stance has been adopted with summer signing Ibrahima Konate, but Diaz has already made it clear that he's ready to star for Liverpool right now.
Join the debate! Do you think Diaz has to keep his spot in the Liverpool team after his rapid start at Anfield? Let us know here.
And if Klopp can resist the urge to wrap his new £37million man up in cotton wool, then there's every chance that the former Porto star can be the ace up the Reds sleeve as they bid to pip Manchester City to the title.
The fashion in which the 25-year-old swaggered around the pitch against the Canaries made it seem as though Diaz had been apart of the well-oiled juggernaut that is Liverpool for years.
It was a seriously impressive performance - even if it has come, arguably, ahead of schedule.
It would have been unreasonable for anybody to have expected Diaz to make such a monumental impact for the Reds this soon after his big-money move.
But now that he has, plans have to be changed accordingly.
In truth, it's hard to see how Klopp can do anything but keep Diaz in the frame after his instant impact; especially with Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino set for a spell on the sidelines.
It's very unlikely that any sort of prolonged spell in the team was part of Klopp's masterplan for the fleet-footed attacker.
But the Reds need all the help they can get if they are to chase down City in the hope of clinching a second title in three years.
Liverpool's strength in depth has made all the difference during a challenging week.
Klopp's swift changes helped stifle Inter Milan's momentum in midweek before the Reds produced a rousing fightback to keep their title hopes alive after Norwich had silenced Anfield by taking a shock lead.
Quite where Diaz will fit in once Jota and Firmino return to the fold is unclear, but it should be a welcome headache for the Reds chief.
However, it's already abundantly clear is that Klopp needs to find a spot for his new magician.
It would be a huge waste to leave Diaz on the bench after his stunning early impact - even if that was the initial plan.
Diaz was undoubtedly signed for the future - a long-term project to assume the mantle from the likes Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah when the time comes for the Reds current generation to pass the torch.
But he's up and firing ahead of schedule; whether Liverpool are ready or not, the future is here sooner than expected.
