Sissoko believes Liverpool fans will quickly fall in love with Diaz and he has compared the Colombian winger to Garcia.
He told AS: "He is a very good signing, I have seen Luis Díaz play with Porto, and I liked him a lot. He is a very talented player, he is young, and Liverpool needed a player with his conditions.
"Luis is going to enter the hearts of the fans very quickly. He is a player who has quality and has a goal. If he shows his quality from the start, the Liverpool fans are going to love him.

"He [Luis Diaz] has the same quality as Luis Garcia, both with a lot of quality on the wing. Luis Diaz has a lot of talent and a lot of quality. In Liverpool, with a coach like Klopp, he will adapt very quickly and show all his talent."
Diaz has also been tipped to replace Mane as first-choice left-winger before too long, with Klopp 'the perfect coach for him'.
"Jurgen Klopp is going to make Diaz take another step towards being a great player," Sissoko continued.
