Liverpool and Portuguese forward, Diogo Jota, has extended his contract by five years, keeping him at Anfield till 2027.
The 25-year-old has proven to be a reliable clutch performer for Jurgen Klopp’s team since his signing in September 2020. He contributed 29 goals in the 2021/2022 season, but his preseason participation was limited by a hamstring injury, which also delayed his preparations for the new season.
The excited Portuguese said: “Well, [I’m] really proud, I have to say. 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.
“Now, signing a new long-term deal, it’s obviously from the club’s perspective proof of the belief in myself as a player. For me, obviously it’s really good to establish I’ll be here for a while. So, the beginning of a new season, let’s do it.
“Unfortunately for me I had an upset in this pre-season because I got injured [in the] last game of the season playing with Portugal. So I was coming back this pre-season, I felt it a little bit again. So it will be a few more weeks, I would say.
