Diogo Jota
Jota has won 27 caps for Portugal

A new contract has been signed by Diogo Jota.

Since joining from Wolves, the Portugal international has scored 34 goals.

He scored 21 goals for the Reds as they won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Jota said it was proof of the belief in him as a player.

I have established myself as an important player in this team since I arrived.

Jota missed pre-season with a injury and said he would be out for a while.

He said that when you fight for everything, like we did last year, you just want to do it better.

I know that drive is in my teammates and the staff. We have a lot to fight for.

He gives us a lot of options and since he came to the club he has improved a lot.

I said before that Diogo was the player we hoped he would be but also a little bit better.

Following the departure of teammate Sadio Mane, Egypt's Mohamed Salah signed a new three-year contract.

Analysis

Mandeep Sanghera is a sports reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

This deal is a reward for how he has progressed and the impact he has made since joining from Wolves.

As a reward for his continued development, the length of his contract was extended by the club.

A player who can operate in a forward role or as a wide attacker has the kind of high work rate that the manager demands of his players.

The new sporting director oversaw Jota's new contract after positive talks with the player's agent.

During the summer, Ward had a lot of work to do. He was part of the team that helped sign Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.
