Live Bar December 24 , Verthil and Darren Bent spoke about Reds striker Diogo Jota in an interview with talkSPORT, arguing that Jota's current appearance is better than Firmino, who has formed Liverpool's new "attacking trident" with Salah and Mane.
Jota joined Liverpool from Wolves in September 2020 for a transfer fee of £41 million, and his personal performance and impact on the team after joining the club were also praised by Wilshire and Darren Bent. Even after suffering injuries in the 2020-21 season, Jota returned to the pitch with a flawless performance.
Wilshire said: "Firmino often retreats on the pitch, and the position is also withdrawn deeper, but Jota is not like this. He's a shooter, he has the knack for scoring goals, he knows to be in the right place at the right time. ”
Asked what Jota's worth now, Wilshire said: "At £70 million, he's only 25 years old and he's very good. ”
Darren Bent also said: "You have to say Liverpool have made a great signing, I always thought he was good. When I was at Wolves I really liked the combination of him, Jimenez and Traoré. ”
"He left Wolves for Liverpool and I think the Reds will find something out of him, but I didn't expect him to be as good as he is now. The season plagued by injuries did have a big impact on him, but he announced his return with a brilliant performance, he was fearless and ready for the challenge. ”
In addition, Wilshire also said that looking at the Reds' current offensive trio, the best three are Jota, Salah and Mane.
