Portugal picked up a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan in the World Cup qualifiers last night and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota put on a splendid display for his country. The 24-year-old has started the season in excellent form for club and country and he chipped in with a goal and assist against Azerbaijan. Jota caused all sorts of problems for Azerbaijan with his clever link-up play and runs into the box. The Portuguese international worked hard and created chances for his teammates with his flair and movement as well. The Liverpool attacker has scored in two of their three Premier League games so far as well and fans will be hoping for more of the same when the Reds take on Leeds United this weekend. Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino is currently sidelined with an injury and the Portuguese intern...

Popular football pundit Garth Crooks has showered heaps of praise on Liverpool forward Diogo Jota. Crooks has suggested that Jota has made a huge impact since he joined the Anfield club from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer. The 24-year-old has been outstanding for the Reds, and he has maintained his fantastic form since returning from a long injury lay-off. He impressed for Portugal during the recent World Cup qualifiers and made a strong impact during Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Jota, who replaced Andy Robertson, scored twice during the game as Liverpool sealed all three points to move two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Crooks told BBC Sport: “This player has made one hell of an impact for Liverpool since he arrived at Anfield f...
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota scored a brace for Portugal during their World Cup qualifier against Serbia. However, despite his heroics, he couldn’t help Portugal win, although they should have secured the three points. Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off the pitch after he was denied a last-minute winner. The Juventus forward was absolutely convinced his late strike had crossed the line, which would have earned a 3-2 victory for Portugal. The replays showed he was correct. However, Liverpool fans were drooling over Jota’s performance last night. The 24-year-old joined Liverpool during the summer for £41 million from Wolves, and he’s proved a superb signing for them. The versatile attacking midfielder has scored 10 goals for the Reds in all competitions during 2020/21 despite missing a ...
Garth Crooks has showered heaps of praise on Diogo Jota after Liverpool won 1-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Molineux on Monday.

Crooks has suggested to BBC Sport that the Reds could still be in the title race had Jota not been injured and continued playing during their tough times. Jota joined Liverpool in the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £41 million from Wolves, and he has been simply superb in his first season at the club. Crooks has labelled him as an “inspired signing”, suggesting that he could have impacted more had he been on the pitch during their months of stru...
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has showered praise on teammates Diogo Jota and Thiago Alcantara. In an exclusive interview with Four Four Two magazine, Alisson has suggested that both Jota and Thiago are top-quality players who work extremely hard in training. Jota joined Liverpool in the summer transfer window from Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Thiago moved to Anfield from Bayern Munich. The Brazilian has admitted that he enjoys their company as they can speak in their ‘own language’. “Jota and Thiago are top-quality players – Jota adds some goals and energy upfront, while Thiago brings more creativity and class to the middle of the park,” said Alisson. “They are two really humble guys who work hard on a daily basis and aren’t worried about themselves – they always think about the team.” S...
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has showered heaps of praise on his former player Diogo Jota in a recent interview. The 24-year-old joined Liverpool during the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £41m from Wolves, with defender Ki-Jana Hoever moving the other way for £9m and a possible £4.5m in add-ons. Jota was a key player for Wolves and Nuno has nothing but nice words to say about his former player.

The Portuguese winger has taken no time in settling in at his new club and was in terrific form before he picked up a knee injury. Nuno says that he is not surprised at all with how quickly Jota has adapted at his new club. He has hailed him as an ‘ama...
Micah Richards has named Liverpool winger Diogo Jota as the signing of the season in the Premier League so far, as quoted in The Daily Mail.

The 23-year-old Portugal international joined the defending Premier League champions from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £41 million. Richards wrote in The Daily Mail: “The fact Diogo Jota is now playing to such a level that Liverpool have deployed a front four tells you everything about his impact. Nobody was expecting this after his £41m move from Wolves.” How has Diogo Jota fared at Liverpool so far? Jota has yet to establish himself ...
This has been a crazy start to the new season so far, with competition at the top very intense compared to the last season where Liverpool won the title at a canter. Only six points separate the top 10 teams after eight matches, with teams like Southampton, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City looking to provide a strong challenge to Liverpool and Manchester City. Once again, clubs in the Premier League spent a lot of money in the summer, and we take a look at some of the players who have impressed (not in the order of ranking) so far. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): The exciting striker joined Villa this summer from Brentford for a reported fee of £28m, and he is already proving to be a smart signing. With six goals and an assist in the Premier League, Watkins has formed a tele...
