Tributes continue to paid across Liverpool and around the globe for footballer Diogo Jota who has died in a car accident age 28.

The Liverpool forward was said to be travelling with his brother, Andre Silva, in the Zamora region of Sanabria when the incident occurred.

Jota signed for Liverpool FC from Wolves back in September 2020 and his brother, who is two years younger, was a professional for Portuguese second-tier team Penafiel.

It was Jurgen Klopp who sanctioned the move for the then 23-year-old Jota in 2020 after it emerged Wolves were willing to sell the Portugal international.

The following year, the former Liverpool FC manager shared how he knew from the start that Jota was an incredible talent.

Speaking on Jota in December 2021, Klopp said: "I remember the first time I saw him I thought he could be a player for me because of how intense he was in all situations.

From a personality point of view he is an incredible boy, really smart, structured in a nice way." Jota signed in a £45m deal in September 2020, becoming the fourth most expensive player in Reds history.
