Alan Shearer on Liverpool’s Diogo Jota
Shearer said about Jota: “He is a fantastic player. The recruitment from Liverpool has been superb. His timing in the air is magnificent, he is brilliant in the air. What was he, £40, £41m?”
Anfield hero
In our opinion, Jota has been superb for Liverpool since moving from Wolves and is a FSG success story.
The Portugal international forward has become an important source of goals and is a very reliable player for Klopp.
Despite being 5 ft 10 in, Jota has scored seven headed goals in the Premier League so far in his career.
The 25-year-old has scored 14 goals in 21 Premier League starts so far this season.
Jota has scored 39 goals in 113 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
For Liverpool to win the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup this season, in our view, Jota will have to stay on top form in the final weeks of the campaign.
