Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has commented on Diogo Jota on the club’s official website.

Klopp has spoken highly of the 23-year-old winger who signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window.

The German has highlighted the qualities of the Portuguese international, and has also shared what he told his coaching staff about the youngster last night after the game against Sheffield United.

Jota started the match at Anfield and scored what turned out to be the winner in the 64th minute.

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website about Jota: “It’s not too much about what he has brought to the team. He’s a good player, that’s why we signed him.

“I said it just a few minutes ago when I was talking to my coaches that it’s so easy – he’s such a nice person and that’s why he’s so easy to like him.

“That makes everything easier. So, the player he is: he is fast, he has physicality, he is strong, he is good in the air, he is good on the ground … many good things. It has exactly the quality that we need, so that helps a lot. “
