Wijnaldum admits that Diogo Jota has surprised all at Liverpool by his performances

Liverpool’s transfer strategy has been brilliant in the last few years. Robertson, Mane, Salah were all somewhat unheard names bought for significant low transfer fees but they have gone on to become one of the best in their positions.

The Reds also haven’t hesitated to spend big on some relatively not-proven players, which includes the likes of Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson Becker who form an important part of their squad for the last few seasons.

At the start of the 2020-21 season, Liverpool wanted to have a backup for their regular front three and went for Wolves’ Diogo Jota. They spent £41m for a lesser-known name and many of the supporters had a doubt whether Jota can make any impact in the star-studded Liverpool team.

Since joining the Anfield side, the Portuguese international has made the most of his chances and impressed everyone at Liverpool. Georginio Wijnaldum told Liverpool’s official website before their match against Wolverhampton Wanderers: ‘I think he will be really happy to play against his old team.’

‘I’m always happy when I play against Newcastle because that’s my only other team [in the Premier League].’

‘For him I think it’s different because he played more seasons for Wolves than I played for Newcastle. For him I think it’s much bigger than what I have with Newcastle. It’s going to be a really, really big game for him and also a game he can enjoy.’

‘I’m really impressed because I already knew how good he was, but now I can see that he’s even better than what we thought of him.’

‘Now we train with him, we play games with him, so we can really see what kind of player he is, what kind of quality player he is. I think he’s showed it with the start he’s had at the club.’  

Diogo Jota would hope to keep his place in the starting lineup and prove his worth to the team.
