Diogo Jota names Liverpool's three most skilful players

Diogo Jota has named the most skilful player within the Liverpool squad.

The Portuguese attacker spent his Friday night streaming on Twitch, as he played FIFA 22 in front of thousands of followers.

The 25-year-old has been in red hot form throughout the past 18 months ever since he was brought to the club by Jurgen Klopp in a £40m deal from Wolves.

The attacker was coming off a season scoring seven goals for Wolves, while at times being left out of the starting line-up.

Klopp saw something in the attacker though, and has been proven right ever since.

Jota has gone on to score 27 goals in 58 games for Liverpool, and is currently the second top scorer in the Premier League behind only Mohamed Salah.

And in key games this season, Jota has replaced Roberto Firmino in the front three at Liverpool, fitting in seamlessly.

But Jota was full of praise for his attack partner on Friday night.

When asked who is the most skilful player at Liverpool, Jota told his followers that Firmino is the most skilful player, followed by Naby Keita.

He said: "Firmino (is the most skilful), then Naby.

"Thiago is also a good option!"

Jota is an avid FIFA player, and faced Trent Alexander-Arnold in a Premier League tournament during the first lockdown, with the Portuguese coming out on top.
