WatchDiogo Jota: I want to reach my prime here at Liverpool
The forward scored 34 goals in 85 appearances and lifted the Emirates FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his first two seasons at Anfield since joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jota believes he has developed significantly as part of Jürgen Klopp’s squad and that his process of improvement can continue in the forthcoming years with the Reds.
On the change in him as a player at the club, the No.20 told Liverpoolfc.com: “Well, [I’m] quite different, I have to say. I obviously played kind of a different role as well most of the time.
“It helped me grow as a player, obviously more mature now, more knowledge of the game. Everything is better, I have to say.
“We need to obviously keep improving because I think I didn’t reach my prime yet. Hopefully during the duration of my stay here I’ll do that.
“I said in my very first interview that I thought I suited the style of Jürgen and the team. I think I proved that instantly.
“Now it’s a question of developing our game, developing the intensity we play [with] because although we are doing brilliantly, there’s always one more step and that’s the step we are trying to make every time.”
