Liverpool 'send scouts to Porto Europa League game'

Liverpool reportedly had scouts present as Porto played Lyon in the Europa League earlier this week.

During the January transfer window, the Merseyside giants secured a deal for Porto winger Luis Diaz, who has subsequently made a positive impact at Anfield.

While the Colombian winger had been a standout player for the Portuguese side, it has seemingly not stopped Liverpool returning to familiar territory.

According to O Jogo, Liverpool were among a number of clubs who were represented at Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday night.

Scouts would have witnessed Porto succumb to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of their French opponents, who had Lucas Paqueta to thank for a second-half goal.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also said to have been in attendance for the first leg of the last-16 tie.
