Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Diogo Jota.
Sky Sports claims the Reds have agreed to a £ 45 million deal for the Portugal international, who will now join the reigning Premier League champions this summer.
It is understood that the 23 year old is scheduled to travel to Melwood today (Saturday) and have his doctor with the Merseyside giants.
After completing the signing of midfielder Thiago Alcantara yesterday, Jurgen Klopp’s side are now about to spend more money to add quality to their squad.
Jota is a versatile forward who is good on both feet and has a low center of gravity that makes him a dribbling nightmare for defenders.
The attacker can play anywhere across the front line, which means he could spot Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino or Mohamed Salah as cover.
He has scored 44 goals in 131 appearances for Wolves and has been part of his team under Nuno Espirito Santo that has progressed from the championship to the first half of the Premier League.

Liverpool had been relatively quiet until this week in the transfer window, but in the space of a couple of days they are ready to seriously strengthen their side and could make them favorites to retain their league crown.
Thiago is a new signing who will likely enter Jurgen Klopp’s XI, while Jota is a deal that came out of nowhere and could be great for them.
He is a serious talent who in his day is unstoppable in attack and manager Klopp could be perfect to try to find some consistency in his game, in addition to allowing some rotation in attack.
