Chelsea star Pedro Neto pens emotional tribute to Diogo Jota - and declares he wants to win Club World Cup in his former team-mate's honour

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has penned a touching tribute to Diogo Jota after the former Liverpool star tragically died in a car crash aged 28.

Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, were killed in a car crash in northern Spain on July 3 in an incident that shocked the sporting world.

Now, Neto, 25, has paid homage to Jota, who he won the Nations League with for Portugal when they defeat Iberian rivals Spain in the final on June 8.

Neto and Jota played with one another for a year at Wolves before the latter moved to Liverpool in 2020.
