Jürgen Klopp reportedly considering signing Diaz's compatriot 

After the great success of signing Luis Diaz, Liverpool are once again looking to a Colombian to bolster their attack. Diaz's quick adaptation was a key factor in the Reds' great season, as they fought for everything. The Colombian scored 6 goals and 5 assists in just half a season at Anfield.

Now, Pool have turned their attention to a Colombian gem from the MLS. As The Sun reports, Chicago Fire striker Jhon Durán has entered the orbit of Jürgen Klopp's side. At 18 years of age, the Medellin native has eight goals and five assists in the league championship, attracting the attention of the English side.

Mohamed Salah is now in his sixth season with Liverpool. After leaving behind an inconsistent spell at Chelsea and being reborn at AS Roma, the Egyptian has found at Anfield Road the ideal environment to establish himself as one of the most complete and decisive strikers on the continental scene. Perhaps spurred on by the success of the Nagrig native, the Reds have now decided to turn their attention to a compatriot. According to the website 90Min, the English club have already begun to consider a move for 21-year-old winger Ibrahim Adel, who plays for Pyramids.

Although the result got them back on track shortly afterwards, Liverpool struggled mightily this afternoon away to Brighton. The Anfield outfit hosted the Seagulls, who managed to disarm Jürgen Klopp's side with goals from Leandro Trossard in the 4th and 17th minutes. It could well have been more as the Reds were spared the scoreline against an opponent who were forgiving and paid for it later on.

In fact the unexpected hero (temporarily) for the home side was Roberto Firmino, whose future is as much in doubt for next season as we know. The Brazilian began by pulling one back in the 33rd minute, somewhat weathering the storm for Jürgen Klopp's side after a dreadful first half hour. And the Canarinho himself scored the equaliser in the 54th minute. In the 63rd minute, Webster scored his own goal to give the Scousers the lead. But again Lucas Trossard in the 83rd minute scored for the visitors when the home side were tasting victory.
