Luis Diaz shows Tottenham Hotspur what they’re missing following summer reports

Manchester City defeated Porto in the Champions League last night winning 3-1 in a tough clash against the Portuguese outfit. 

They had to do so after coming back from a goal down and it was some goal. 

Porto took the lead after Luis Diaz dazzled the City defence, streamed through on goal, and smashed home an incredible drilled solo effort. 

The Colombian showcased his impressive skills which have seen him linked with a move away from the club in recent times, including to Tottenham Hotspur. 

Portuguese publication Record reported in July that Spurs were keen on the wideman, who had an impressive first season with the club last season. 

Mourinho was said to be a fan of the player, with Colombian paper Caracol suggesting that the Portuguese boss was the driving force behind the interest in the 23-year-old. 

Diaz certainly made sense as a Mourinho target, considering his hard-working and industrious style. 

But the interest from Tottenham quickly dissipated, with news from SAPO Desporto that Diaz had an €80 million (£72m) price-tag on his head.

Such a fee was out of Tottenham’s price-range for this summer but watching his solo effort against City last night highlights just why Tottenham were keen. 

Diaz already has two goals and one assist from his four games this season and Tottenham will undoubtedly be keeping tabs on their long-term target. 

But after this eye-catching effort, Spurs will not be alone and that price-tag will not be dropping anytime soon.
