Liverpool announced Diogo Jota had signed a new five-year deal with the club on Tuesday. The Portugal star has been rewarded with a significant pay rise, having impressed since arriving from Wolves in a £45million move two years ago.
Discussions between Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward and Jota’s agent Jorge Mendes have been ongoing throughout the summer and the club have finally got the new deal over the line.
Since his arrival, the forward has highlighted himself as a well-rounded and versatile attacker who has proven useful in playing a number of different positions within Jurgen Klopp’s side. That’s set to continue with competition for a start in Liverpool’s front line looking likely to be fierce.
