John Aldridge believes new Liverpool signing Diogo Jota will provide quality back-up to Jurgen Klopp's frontline in the Premier League. The Reds signed Jota in a £45m deal from Wolves last week. Jota scored 13 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season to help Nuno Espirito Santo's side challenge for a European place in the 2019/20 campaign. The Portugal international will be charged with providing cover for Liverpool trio Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. “He’s quick, his delivery is very good, he can play in a number of forward positions and he knows where the back of the net is,” Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo. “Don’t forget a lot of his appearances for Wolves have come as a substitute so that paints a bit of false picture when it comes to his creative ability. “It might seem a lot of money to some people but Liverpool fans should trust the manager implicitly because look how many decisions he’s got right. If he believes Jota is worth that, with Ki-Jana Hoever going the other way, it could turn out to be a really good deal for Liverpool.”
