A special mural has been dedicated to Diogo Jota in the Anfield area after the Liverpool forward died in a car crash earlier this month.

The 28-year-old was travelling across Spain in the early hours of Thursday, July 3, when he was killed in a road traffic accident alongside his brother Andre Silva.

Since the passing of the Portugal international nearly two weeks ago, the football world has come together to pay tribute to the brothers.

At Anfield, thousands of fans have laid scarves, t-shirts and other memorabilia in tribute to Jota, while players from across the world - including Kylian Mbappe and Reds forward Darwin Nunez - have dedicated goal celebrations to the former Wolverhampton Wanderers forward.

Now, street artist John Culshaw has composed a street mural in memory of Jota on the exterior of the Halfway House pub on Walton Road.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com about the latest fan-led tribute to Liverpool's No.20, Culshaw said: “As Liverpool fans, we know how to deal with tragedy and show our appreciation to someone who has given us so much.

“I picked this image to paint because it shows Diogo sending love out to the fans and by immortalising him in our city, it shows that we are sending the love right back.

“Diogo has given us so many memories, it’s only right that he will remain our number 20 forever.”

Jota joined Liverpool from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and went on to make 182 appearances for the Reds, scoring 65 times.
