Diogo Jota joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window.

Wolverhampton Wanderers central defender Conor Coady has told Sky Sports that his teammate and attacking midfielder Diogo Jota has taken to life in the Championship like a duck to water.

Jota joined Championship club Wolves on a season-long loan deal from Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has been one of the best players in the Championship and has established himself as a key figure in Nuno’s team.

The Portuguese attacker has scored nine goals and provided four assists in 19 Championship appearances for Wolves so far this season.

Wanderers centre-back Coady, 24, who has been on the books of Wolves since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Huddersfield Town for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £2 million, has spoken highly of his teammate Jota.

Coady told Sky Sports about Jota: “He has been incredible. He has taken to it like a duck to water. He gets kicked but he just gets up. We are lucky to have him at the club.”

Wolves are at the top of the Championship table at the moment with 44 points from 19 matches, a point clear of second-placed Cardiff City with a game in hand.
