Salah insists star Liverpool trio 'happy for Jota'

Mohamed Salah has welcomed the impact of Diogo Jota at Liverpool.

Salah believes the new boy has already helped ease the burden on himself and strike partners Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

"We are happy for him," he said. "As team-mates we are trying to push each other every day in training, so to see someone come in and score goals you feel also happy for him because you feel he is going to help your team and to make it easier for us up front.

"Hopefully that will happen again and again and again. Scoring a few goals is a good way for him to start here maybe with confidence.

"To have someone else who can score goals is a great option for us. Now with Diogo we can play four together or we could still play three."
