Liverpool Transfer Roundup: Luis Diaz Takes Iconic Shirt Number
Liverpool have been busy in the transfer market this summer, with several players coming and going from Anfield. On Monday, the club announced that Luis Diaz had taken one of the most iconic shirt numbers in the club’s history – the No. 7.
Diaz Takes Iconic No. 7 Shirt
The No. 7 shirt is one of the most iconic in Liverpool’s history, with some of the club’s greatest players having worn it over the years. With the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino, three of Liverpool’s most iconic shirt numbers became free. Diaz has not taken long to swap his No. 23 for the No. 7, with the club announcing the news on Monday morning. Those who have already purchased a new Liverpool home shirt with ‘Luis Diaz 23′ on the back will be personally reimbursed by the winger – full details on that here.
Who is Likely to Follow?
There have been whispers of Darwin Nunez taking the No. 9, while Alexis Mac Allister declined the No. 8 upon his arrival. It remains to be seen who will take up these iconic shirt numbers, but it is clear that Diaz is ready to make an impact at Anfield.
