Liverpool agree deal to sign Wolves forward Diogo Jota

The deal is said to be worth £45 million

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Diogo Jota, according to Sky Sports, with the Portuguese forward expected to undergo a medical at Melwood today. The 23-year-old, who has made over 100 appearances for Wolves since joining from Atletico Madrid - initially on loan before joining on a permanent basis in 2018 - is expected to move to Anfield for a reported £45 million. His move comes less than 24 hours after Liverpool announced the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara for a fee reported to be around £20 million. Jota has impressed hugely during his time at Molineux, scoring nine and seven goals respectively in his two seasons in the Premier League. As he departs Molineux for Anfield, promising Liverpool defender Ki-Jana Hoever looks set to move in the opposite direction, after the two clubs agreed a fee believed to be close to £10 million. Hoever, a right-back who has made four appearances under Klopp, will help fill the void left by right-back Matt Doherty's departure to Tottenham Hotspur.
