After Thiago signing, Liverpool agree £41 million fee for Wolves winger Diogo Jota

Having completed a sensational move for midfield gem Thiago Alcantara on Friday, defending Premier League champions Liverpool are now attempting to sign Wolves winger Diogo Jota this weekend. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have identified the Portuguese forward as an ideal signing to provide some much-needed cover for their frontline over the hectic 2020-21 season. The 23-year-old Jota was left out of Wolves' EFL Cup game against Stoke City on Thursday as it is believed that he has his heart set on a move to Anfield.

It was reported that Wolves were reluctant to sell Diogo Jota to Liverpool but it seems that the versatile Portuguese attacker's arrival at Anfield is now imminent. On the other hand, Wolves are reportedly looking to rope in Reds defender Ki-Jana Hoever, and reports claim that move is entirely separate to any potential deal for Jota. It promises to be a busy few weeks for Liverpool before the close of the transfer window on October 5 as the Reds are willing to listen to offers for midfielder Marko Grujic and winger Harry Wilson while Xherdan Shaqiri’s future at the club also remains in question.
