Diogo Jota: Liverpool interested in signing Wolves forward
Written by News on 18/09/2020
Liverpool are interested in signing Wolves forward Diogo Jota as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Any potential agreement for Jota could be made easier with Liverpool defender Ki-Jana Hoever set to join Wolves in a deal worth £10m, plus add-ons.
Jota left Molineux before kick-off against Stoke in the Carabao Cup on Thursday and was an unused substitute at the weekend in the 2-0 win at Sheffield United.
Liverpool teenager Hoever, who has appeared four times for Jurgen Klopp’s side, can play right wing-back, right-back and centre-back – all positions which Wolves have looked to strengthen during this transfer window.
The 18-year-old joined Liverpool from Ajax in 2018 and only signed a new long-term contract at Anfield last summer.
However, he is now set to join Wolves on a permanent deal after terms were agreed between the two Premier League clubs, which may improve Liverpool’s chances of landing Jota.
Meanwhile, Liverpool confirmed the arrival of Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich on Friday in a deal that could rise to £25m.
The Premier League champions have also been linked with Watford’s Ismaila Sarr as they look to improve their options in the final third.
Summer transfer window – key dates and times
The summer transfer window will run for 10 weeks from July 27 and close at 11pm on October 5.
A domestic-only window for trades between the Premier League and EFL then runs from October 5 and closes on Friday, October 16 at 5pm. Follow all the news and analysis on Sky Sports News and across Sky Sports‘ digital platforms, including with our dedicated Transfer Centre blog.
