Liverpool striker Diogo Jota: Club's transfer policy is working

Liverpool striker Diogo Jota is convinced the club's new signings will all contribute this season.

Liverpool have freshened their squad during the summer with the arrivals of 23-year-old striker Darwin Nunez, 19-year-old attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho and teenage right-back Calvin Ramsay.

“I have the feeling that it is working," said the Portuguese forward. “They are capturing the best young players, building and rebuilding again. I think you can notice that we have a lot of good young players now so everything seems to be in place. It is working well."

Jota was one of 10 senior players unavailable for the defeat at United as he continues to recover from a hamstring problem suffered during pre-season.

While Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Sadio Mane have left, there remains strong competition for places up front when players are fit with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino other options.

“We know how important that Divock and Taki were when they played," said Jota. "For this season, we want it to be the same. Especially when we want to go for everything again like we did last year. We know we will need everyone. Everyone will be important.

“We just need to be ready for our moment."
