If the 2021/22 campaign saw Diogo Jota elevate himself into the "world-class" bracket in the eyes of Jurgen Klopp, then last season left Liverpool without a major star for far too long.
After registering two goals at Arsenal in January of last year to help the Reds reach the Carabao Cup final, Jota was singled out for some special praise from his manager, who gushed: "Diogo Jota [is] on fire.
"We were completely convinced when he arrived at the club he would help us massively. Since he is here he has made another step, he has turned into a really world-class striker."
