Ex-Liverpool fullback Enrique: Jota a step above Origi, Shaqiri

Former Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique believes Diogo Jota will improve Jurgen Klopp's attack.

Enrique, who was at Liverpool between 2011 and 2016, believes the signing of Jota from Wolves is good news for Liverpool fans.

He told the Daily Mail: "Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri are good players but we were missing someone who, if he adapts, can reach the level of the other three forwards [Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah].

"Now with Jota it would not be as serious a problem if one of the others were out for a longer period.

"I think [Jurgen] Klopp has the best squad he has had since he has been at the club. And he will make the signings better players. He makes all of them better players.

"It's difficult to improve someone who was a top Bayern player but Thiago will learn new things. He will be, if not the signing, then certainly one of the signings of the season."
