Liverpool artist John Culshaw has confirmed plans to paint a mural to Diogo Jota following his tragic passing at the age of 28.
The Portugal forward and his brother, Andre Silva, were involved in a devastating car crash that claimed the lives of both siblings last Thursday in a region of northern Spain.
It comes as tributes continue to flood in from across the globe to Jota and his brother, and further commemorations are planned.

The news was confirmed by Culshaw on Monday, although no further details were shared.
Replying to a request from @TheDalglishStnd on X to paint a mural of Jota, the artist replied: “I’m starting one next week mate.”
Culshaw is responsible for several Liverpool-inspired murals across the city, including to Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp, while he also produced one in April to celebrate the club’s 20th top-flight title triumph.
Jota’s will be among his most high-profile and eagerly anticipated yet, especially for a fanbase keen to pay tribute to the recently deceased striker.
Such was the demand from supporters to sign the book of condolence at Anfield, the opening hours were extended by a further two days and it remains available until Tuesday at 20:00 BST.
Fans continue to leave mementos outside the ground, such as scarves, shirts, flowers and even a gaming pad, which denotes Jota’s hobby of playing the FIFA video games.
The club broadcast a free-to-air show to commemorate Jota’s life on Monday, with an emotional John Aldridge forced to hold back the tears as he spoke to LFCTV.
