Liverpool completes the signing of Diogo Jota from Wolves for a reported £41 million.
The 23-year old has signed a five-year contract with the Reds just 24 hours after they signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.
The Portuguese international becomes the club’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara and and Greece left back Kostas Tsimikas.

“It’s just a really exciting moment for me and my family,” Jota told the club’s website.
“All of my path since I was a kid and now, to join a club like Liverpool — the world champions — is just unbelievable. I just want to get started.
“It is one of the best teams in the world – the best at the moment because they are world champions. When you look at the Premier League, you always see Liverpool as one of the biggest teams in the country, so it’s impossible to say no.
“So we just want to come [here], to give our best and hopefully I can become a good option for Liverpool in the future.”
Jurgen Klopp has been a huge-admirer of the Portuguese international and will offer his side many options to defend the Premier League title.
“He’s a player who gives us so many options to use him. He’s 23 years old, still far away from being kind of a finished article, so much potential. He has the speed, he can combine, can defend, can press. It makes it just more unpredictable and gives us real options for different systems because he can play pretty much all three positions up front in a 4-3-3, if we play with four midfielders he can play both wings,” said Klopp.
