Diogo José Teixeira da Silva

Written by Nuno Travassos, Catarina Pereira and Luís Mateus for A Bola:

A discreet but versatile and very reliable striker, who at 27 believes his best is yet to come, “I always look at what Cristiano Ronaldo does, because it seems to me that he has scored more goals since he was 30 than before,” Diogo Jota said. “This shows that it is always possible to improve.” If it weren't for the injuries, he would have even greater prominence at Liverpool and with the national team. He missed the World Cup in Qatar, was unavailable for more than 20 games for his club last season and has continued to struggle for fitness in recent months. The injuries will have meant he has had more time for the official eSports team he created and also to see his brother, André, who plays in the Portuguese second tier, in action.
