Liverpool are hoping to sign RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner this summer but according to the Express, Jurgen Klopp is likely to have some alternative options in mind. The report claims that those players are Luka Jovic, Carlos Vinicius, Victor Osimhen and Diogo Jota.
With that being said, here’s a look at how these Liverpool fans took the news.
Just get jota instead.

With our style of play, wouldn’t mind Jota

Jota or Jovic

I like Jota. Luka Jovic was supposed to be a superstar in waiting but haven’t heard that much about him this season.

A couple of Liverpool fans were less than pleased with the news.

Would you like to see Diogo Jota come in?
Yes
No
However, there were some who would be equally as happy to see his Wolves teammate Raul Jimenez arrive on Merseyside.

What do we think?
One of the players who Liverpool fans may be familiar with is Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Diogo Jota.
Diogo Jota is currently valued at £31.5m according to Transfermarkt.co.uk. The Portuguese international has made 25 appearances in the Premier League for Wolves this season scoring six goals and providing one assist to date. Signed from Atletico Madrid in July 2018 for £12.6m, the 23-year-old’s average performance rating currently stands at 6.89/10 via WhoScored.com.
His strengths include his ability to dribble, finish chances and to deliver good crosses. Although most of his appearances this season have come as a left-sided forward, therefore, it remains to be seen whether or not he is the type of forward Jurgen Klopp may be looking for this summer.
