Diogo Jota was "a dream to work with and a pleasure to call a friend", says Conor Coady, who was Wolves captain during the Portuguese forward's three seasons at the club.

Before joining Liverpool, Jota was part of a Wolves side that won the Championship in 2017-18 and then went on to qualify for the Europa League with a seventh-placed finished during their first season back in the Premier League.

Jota, aged 28, died in a car crash on Thursday along with his brother Andre Silva, who was 25.

Their funerals will take place at 10:00 on Saturday in their hometown of Gondomar in Portugal.
