Diogo Jota Signs New Long-Term Liverpool Deal

Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota has signed a new five year deal with the premier league side, extending his stay till 2027.

The 25-year-old netted 21 times in all competitions for the Reds last season, but he will face stiff competition for a place this term following the arrival of Darwin Nunez from Benfica.

“Well, [I’m] really proud, I have to say”, Jota disclosed this in an interview after signing his new contract.

“Obviously, since I arrived two years ago I established myself as an important player in this team – that’s what I wanted from the beginning”.

Jota, who has scored a total of 34 goals in 85 appearances since joining Liverpool, has not featured in Liverpool’s pre-season matches due to a hamstring injury.

The forward is expected to miss out on Saturday’s Premier League opener on Saturday at newly-promoted Fulham.
