A new mural in tribute of Diogo Jota has been completed near Anfield by artist John Culshaw.

The mural is one of the many fan tributes outside Anfield to Jota, who died in a car crash near Zamora, Spain alongside his brother André Silva.

"As Liverpool fans we know how to deal with tragedy and show our appreciation to someone who has given us so much," said Culshaw.

"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."

Liverpool announced earlier last week they would retire the No.

"Diogo has given us so many memories, it's only right that he will remain our number 20 forever," Culshaw said.

The Merseyside club's first preseason game of the summer against Preston North End was filled with tributes for Jota.

Liverpool's next game is against AC Milan in Hong Kong on July 26.
