New Liverpool striker Diogo Jota is desperate to play in front of a full Anfield.

Liverpool sign Jota from Wolves in the summer transfer window, spending £35million on the 23-year-old Portugal international.

"I think football without fans is strange," Jota told The Athletic.

"Obviously, when you play for a club like Liverpool, who have one of the best atmospheres in the world, it just feels like something is missing.

"We have a lot of these conversations with the staff and even with the players about the things we are really missing.

"Feeling the Anfield effect is the thing I am looking forward to the most. I can't tell you how much. I'm just not able to get that feeling yet.

"But I hope that soon I can have it. Football without fans is nothing."

This isn't the first time Jota has talked about not getting to experience the Liverpool atmosphere, which he says makes him feel "bitter".

Jota said in November: "When I first signed at Anfield, I was asked what my feeling was and I said for it to be perfect, I had to play in a full stadium to have that even more special feeling.

"It feels bitter not being able to feel the atmosphere of Anfield."
