Jota first caught Klopp's attention with his work-rate and intelligence in 2018.
Jurgen Klopp says Diogo Jota’s intensity made him stand out as an ideal Liverpool player before the Portugal forward even moved to Anfield.
“I remember the first time I saw him I thought he could be a player for me because of how intense he was in all situations,” Klopp said on Friday. Deputising for the injured Roberto Firmino, Jota has scored four goals in his past three matches, including one in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby at Everton.
“Raul Jimenez was allowed to stay up but the rest had to cover the whole pitch and it costs you energy. And he was very young then.
