Liverpool's Diogo Jota top attempts a head at goal during the English Premier League soccer match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield stadium in Liverpool, England on April 19, 2022. JON SUPER AP LONDON - Liverpool's 25 year old Portuguese international forward Diogo Jota has committed his future to the club by penning a new deal until the end of June 2027.
The forward, who has scored 34 goals in 85 games since joining Wolverhampton two years ago, joins Mohamed Salah in signing a new contract following Sadio Mane's departure to Bayern Munich earlier in the summer.
I'm very proud. Since I arrived two years ago, I established myself as an important player in this team - that was what I wanted from the beginning, said Jota, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury.
He said that the new contract showed the club's belief in me as a player, and that it was really good to establish that I'll be here for a long time and assure his long-term future.
The forward confirmed that he would miss Liverpool's Premier League opener against Fulham and that he would probably miss a few more weeks with his hamstring issue.
