The Luis Diaz stats for the early part of the 2024/25 Premier League season showcase just how good the Liverpool star has been so far.
Under new manager Arne Slot, the Colombian international has flourished. In fact, the Reds have made a truly magnificent start with just one blemish to their record.
Now, Diaz has revealed how he has set his sights on the Golden Boot this season. However, trying to catch Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland will be no easy feat.
Luis Diaz Stats Suggest A Strong Season In Front Of Goal Beckons
In the Premier League this season, Luis Diaz has already netted five times in just five appearances. After drawing blanks against Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest, Diaz has made minor work of his other three opponents.
In the first home game of the season, Diaz scored and assisted in the 2-0 win over Brentford. He went on to net both goals at Anfield against Bournemouth on gameweek 5.
In between those fixtures, rivals Manchester United were his other victims. Diaz netted twice in a stunning 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.
The most English top-flight goals he has ever scored for the Reds is eight. Therefore, he is already over halfway and will surely net at least 15-20 times this season if he keeps up his tremendous form.

Premier League Golden Boot Hopes Very Much Alive
Granted, the Luis Diaz stats are hugely impressive compared to his previous seasons at Liverpool. But, it’ll take a stroke of luck and a herculean effort to snare the Golden Boot away from Erling Haaland.
Nonetheless, Diaz doesn’t see why it’s out of the realms of possibility. At the time of writing, it’s only the Manchester City superstar who is ahead of him in the scoring charts.
“Why not? I hope I can be one of the Premier League’s top scorers,” Diaz explained. “Now, it’s about continuing this good start, keeping my feet on the ground, staying calm and enjoying it.”
