‘Jota has been even better than Liverpool thought’ – Wijnaldum impressed by in-form forward

In-form Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has been “even better than we thought”, admits Georginio Wijnaldum, with the Portugal international making an immediate impact at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp knew that he was getting another hard-working frontman when putting a £45 million ($60m) deal in place with Wolves.

The reigning Premier League champions had also seen Jota display a keen eye for goal during his time at Molineux, with life in England posing few problems to an ambitious performer.
