Chelsea forward Pedro Neto wants to win the Club World Cup in memory of his Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota.

Jota, the Liverpool striker, died last week along with his brother Andre Silva following a car crash in Spain.

Neto was close friends with Jota and the pair, previously team-mates at Wolves, were both in the Portugal side that won the UEFA Nations League final last month.

Neto now has a chance to win another trophy having helped Chelsea beat Brazilian side Fluminense 2-0 in New York on Tuesday to reach Sunday's Club World Cup final.
