Liverpool boss Klopp: Jota contract brilliant news; he's the player we hoped for

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with Diogo Jota's new contract.

The striker is understood to have penned terms to 2027.

Reacting to the No.20's new deal, Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: “What Diogo has brought to this team and this club since he arrived is there for all to see, so it is really good news that he has signed a new contract.

“Brilliant, brilliant news, I would say.

“His qualities are obvious. He scores goals – not a bad quality – he works unbelievably hard for the team, his pressing and counter-pressing are on an unbelievable level, he can play in all of our attacking roles and he has an incredible attitude. Not a bad package. Not bad at all.

“As a striker who can play on the wing, he gives us so many options and since he came to Liverpool he has improved so much.

“I have said before that Diogo is the player we hoped he would be but also a little bit better, so long may this continue."
