Diogo Jota’s Liverpool team-mates have paid emotional tributes to the forward.

Jurgen Klopp has said he is “heartbroken”, while fans have laid flowers outside Anfield to honour Jota following his death in a car crash.

Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a crash in Spain in the early hours on Thursday morning.

His Liverpool team-mates Darwin Nunez and Stefan Bajcetic have led the tributes to the 28-year-old.

Nunez was the first Liverpool player to post a tribute, posting on Instagram to say: “There are no words to comfort you for so much pain.

RIP Diogo and Andre.”

Bajcetic posted: “You will be remembered, my friend.'

Jota’s former Liverpool manager Klopp said: “This is a moment where I struggle!

Diogo was a not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father!

Rest in peace - Love.”

Liverpool fans have left flowers and tributes to Jota outside Anfield, where deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner also laid a floral tribute.
