Darren Bent has claimed that Liverpool’s ‘forgotten man’ Diogo Jota can help to fill the hole left by Sadio Mane’s departure.

The ‘forgotten man’ tag for Jota does feel quite apt, though.



Speaking to TalkSPORT, Bent said that Mane was too good to be replaced by one player alone.



“But if (Luis) Diaz gets his numbers up in terms of goals and assists and Jota’s scoring goals… He was kind of the forgotten man towards the end of last season but he stepped in and was brilliant.



When he’s on form, he’s one of the best poachers in the Premier League.

“I don’t think you can replace him straight away just man-for-man because I think he’s too good,” said the former Enfland striker.

In that respect, he isn’t too much of a stretch to say that Jota can in fact replace Mane.
