Diogo Jota happy to play anywhere necessary for Liverpool

Diogo Jota doesn't care where he has to play for Liverpool.

The Portuguese has been utilised in both central and wide attacking roles this season, resulting in 12 goals from 26 appearances.

"I always try to do what the manager asks me to do," said Jota. "At Wolves we sometimes played with three up front and I was on the left, because we had a proper main striker in Raul (Jimenez).

"When we played with two, I was up front. So it depends on what the manager asks me to do.

"I try to adapt and I think that's one of my main characteristics. I don't force anyone to adapt to me - I try to adapt to whatever is required and do my best.

"Maybe some people will say I'm not a proper false nine or I'm not a nine, whereas some others may like it. But whenever I'm on the pitch I aim to get goals and get the team reaching the opponent's goal. That's what I try to do."
