Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told the club’s official website that Diogo Jota is now back to his best.
Klopp made the comments about the £41 million Liverpool forward after his performance against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers star scored the only goal of the FA Cup quarter-final tie in the second half.
Liverpool boss Klopp has said that Jota was struggling after his injury against Inter Milan, but now he is back to his best.
Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool’s Diogo Jota
Klopp told Liverpool’s official website about Jota: “What a player, what a boy. This goal was exceptional. It was a good cross from Kostas, a good ball, but he had to stretch the body to reach it.
“Scoring that goal, obviously massive and it just shows, after the injury he needed a little bit to get back on track but now I hope he is really coming back healthy from the national team because he looks like he is back again.”
Big player
In our opinion, Jota is a big player for Liverpool, and his importance to the current team cannot be undermined.
The 25-year-old has established himself as an important source of goals for Liverpool.
Yes, Liverpool manager Klopp has a number of attacking options now, including January signing Luis Diaz, but Jota is tried and tested.
The Liverpool no. 20 has scored 13 goals in 20 Premier League starts so far this season.
Jota scored nine goals in 12 Premier League starts for Liverpool last season.
For Liverpool to win the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup this season, Jota will have to stay on top of his game for the final weeks of the campaign.
