Diogo Jota, who died at the age of 28 on Thursday, will be remembered as a clinical finisher who scored goals in important moments for Liverpool and Wolves.

In five seasons at Anfield, the Portuguese forward delivered 65 goals in 182 appearances, collecting each of English football’s major trophies, including one FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as Liverpool’s 20th league title last season.

He signed for Liverpool for £41m from Wolves in 2020, having scored 44 goals in 131 appearances across three seasons after moving from Atletico Madrid.

At international level, he was a member of Portugal squads that won the Nations League twice – in 2019 and 2025.
