Liverpool extend Diogo Jota's contract

MOSCOW, Aug 2 Portugal forward Diogo Jota signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, according to the website of the English club. Jota is currently recovering from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss all of Liverpool's pre-season matches. «Signing a new long-term contract is obviously proof of faith in me as a player. I'm glad that I'll be here for a while. The new season is starting soon, let's do it. But I was upset because I got injured in the last game of last season. I think my recovery will take a few more weeks, » Jota said. Jota joined Liverpool from Wolves in September 2020 for €44.70m. As part of the Reds, the 25-year-old forward won the FA Cup and the Football League Cup of the country, played 85 matches and scored 34 goals.
