Jota started his career with Paços de Ferreira, before signing for La Liga club Atlético Madrid in 2016. After two seasons in the Primeira Liga, he was consecutively loaned to Primeira Liga club FC Porto in 2016 and EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2017. Having helped them gain promotion to the Premier League, he joined the club in 2018 for a reported €14 million and went on to make 131 appearances for them, scoring 44 goals. In 2020, he signed for Liverpool for a fee reported to be £41 million.

Jota is a former Portugal youth international, representing his country at under-19, under-21 and under-23 levels.[7][8] He was included in the squad for the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals, which Portugal won on home soil, and made his senior international debut in November 2019, playing at UEFA Euro 2020 and Euro 2024.[5]

Club career

edit

Paços de Ferreira

edit

Born in Porto,[9] Jota joined Paços de Ferreira's youth setup in 2013, from Gondomar.[citation needed] He was promoted to the main squad at the start of the 2014–15 season, and made his senior debut on 19 October 2014 by starting in a 4–0 home win against Atlético de Reguengos for the Taça de Portugal.[10]

Jota first appeared in the Primeira Liga on 20 February 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Diogo Rosado in a 2–2 home draw against Vitória de Guimarães.[11] He scored his first goals in the competition on 17 May, netting a brace in a 3–2 home success over Académica de Coimbra[12] and becoming the youngest player to score for the club in the top tier in the process.[13]

On 30 May 2015, Jota signed a new five-year deal with Paços, keeping him tied up until 2020.[14] In the first game of the campaign, a 1–0 win over Académica at the Estádio da Mata Real on 17 August, he was sent off at the end for pushing Hugo Seco; Ricardo Nascimento was also sent off for retaliating on his teammate's behalf.[15]

Atlético Madrid

edit

On 14 March 2016, Jota agreed a five-year contract with Atlético Madrid effective as of 1 July.[16] On 26 August 2016, however, he returned to his homeland and joined FC Porto on a one-year loan.[17] On 1 October, Jota scored a first-half hat-trick in a 4–0 away victory against Nacional.[18] Jota also took part in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, scoring his first goal in the competition on 7 December in a 5–0 home victory against Leicester City.[19]

Wolverhampton Wanderers

On 25 July 2017, Jota signed for EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan.[20] He scored his first goal on 15 August, in a 3–2 away win over Hull City.[21] On 30 January 2018, it was announced that a permanent deal with Jota had been agreed for a reported €14 million, being made effective on 1 July.[22][23] He scored a career-best 17 league goals in his first year, ranking fifth in the league top scorer charts, as Wolves achieved promotion to the Premier League as champions;[24] due to English Football League regulations, he wore his legal surname on his jersey in the Championship but was able to change it to "Diogo J" after the feat.[25]

Jota made his debut in the Premier League on 11 August 2018, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 home draw against Everton.[26] He scored his first goal in the competition on 5 December, helping the hosts come from behind to beat Chelsea 2–1.[27] His second came four days later, in a win at Newcastle United by the same scoreline.[28] On 19 January 2019, Jota scored three times in the 4–3 home victory over Leicester City – his second career hat-trick.[29] In the process, he became only the second Portuguese player to achieve the feat in the Premier League after Cristiano Ronaldo 11 years earlier.[30] This was a first-ever for the club in the competition and a first for the club in the top flight of English football since John Richards, against the same opposition, in the Football League First Division in October 1977.[31] On 16 March 2019, Jota scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Manchester United in the 2018–19 FA Cup, to help Wolves reach their first semi-final in the competition since 1997–98.[32]

2019–20: Final season with Wolves

edit

On 25 July 2019, Jota scored in a 2–0 win over Northern Irish club Crusaders in the Europa League second qualifying round, Wolves' first European goal since October 1980,[33] and in the next round on 15 August, he scored an overhead kick to conclude a 4–0 (8–0 aggregate) victory over Pyunik.[34]

In the final Europa League group stage game at home to Beşiktaş on 12 December 2019, Jota replaced compatriot Rúben Neves as a 56th-minute substitute with the game goalless, scored after 72 seconds and completed a hat-trick within twelve minutes as Wolves ran out 4–0 victors.[35] The following 20 February, he netted another treble in a win by the same score over Espanyol in the first leg of the last 32 of the tournament.[36] His 131st and last appearance for Wolves was as a second-half substitute in their Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla on 11 August 2020;[37] his 44th and final goal for the club in a 3–0 league victory over Everton on 12 July.[38]

Liverpool

edit

2020–21: Debut season and adaptation

edit

On 19 September 2020, Jota joined Liverpool on a long-term deal,[39] reportedly for a £41 million transfer fee, rising to £45 million with potential add-ons.[40][41] He made his debut in the EFL Cup five days later, coming on as a second-half substitute against Lincoln City in a 7–2 win.[42] On 28 September, he scored on his Premier League debut for the club, with the third in a 3–1 win against Arsenal at Anfield.[43] Jota scored the club's 10,000th goal in their history when he netted the opener against FC Midtjylland in the UEFA Champions League group stage,[44] and scored a hat-trick on 3 November in a 5–0 win at Atalanta in the same competition.[45] In doing so, he became the first player since Robbie Fowler in 1993 to score 7 goals in his first 10 Liverpool appearances.[46] On 22 November, Jota scored the second goal in a 3–0 victory against Leicester City, becoming the first Liverpool player to score in each of his first four home matches in the Premier League.[47] For his performances in October, Jota was awarded Liverpool Player of the Month by the club's supporters.[48] On 9 December, Jota suffered a leg injury during a UEFA Champions League match against Midtjylland, in a dead rubber match, sidelining him for three months.[49]

Jota ended his debut season at the club with nine league goals, including a back heel in a 4–2 away win against Manchester United,[50] which helped Liverpool finish third in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League.[51]

2021–22: Domestic double and European final

edit

On 14 August 2021, Jota scored Liverpool's first goal of the 2021–22 Premier League season in a 3–0 away victory against newly promoted Norwich City.[52] On 24 October, he scored in a 5–0 away victory against Liverpool's arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.[53] On 3 November, he opened the scoring in a 2–0 home victory in the Champions League against his former club Atlético Madrid to ensure Liverpool's qualification to the round of 16, as group winners.[54] On 1 December, he scored Liverpool's fourth goal in a 4–1 away win against local rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby, as the club became the first team in English top-flight history to score at least two goals in eighteen successive games in all competitions.[55] For his performances in November, he was awarded PFA Fans' Player of the Month.[56] On 16 December, Jota scored Liverpool's first goal in a 3–1 home win against Newcastle United, in what was Liverpool's 2,000th top-flight win.[57]

On 20 January 2022, in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals, Jota scored both goals in a 2–0 away win over Arsenal to send Liverpool into the final.[58] On 27 February, following a goalless draw against Chelsea after extra time, he scored his penalty during the shoot-out to help Liverpool win their first League Cup since 2012.[59][60] On 14 May, in the 2022 FA Cup final, Jota came on as a substitute for the injured Mohamed Salah after 33 minutes.[61] Liverpool won the final after a penalty shoot-out, in which Jota scored his penalty.[62] On 28 May, Jota made a substitute appearance in the 65th minute of the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final, as Liverpool lost to 1–0 Real Madrid.[63]

2022–23: Contract extension and recurring injuries

edit

Jota suffered a hamstring injury in the pre-season which made him miss the start of the season.[64] On 2 August 2022, Jota signed a new long-term deal with the club.[65] He made his return from injury on 3 September, replacing Darwin Núñez in the 80th minute of a 0–0 draw against rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby.[66] On 12 October, Jota came off the bench in a Champions League match away to Rangers, before providing three assists in one match for the first time in his career to Mohamed Salah, who completed a hat-trick in the space of six minutes and twelve seconds of an eventual 7–1 win.[67] On 16 October, he suffered a calf injury during Liverpool's 1–0 home win over Manchester City, which ruled him out for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[68] He returned from injury on 13 February, replacing Darwin Núñez in the 70th minute in a 2–0 victory against Everton.[69]

Having not registered a goal since 10 April 2022, Jota returned to scoring ways on 17 April 2023, with two goals in Liverpool's 6–1 away win over Leeds United.[70] On 30 April, with Liverpool conceding a last minute equaliser, having led the match by three goals, Jota scored the dramatic late winner in added time in Liverpool's 4–3 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, leading him to be nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award.[71] At the conclusion of the season, Liverpool narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.[72]

2023–24: League Cup victory

edit

Following an injury-riddled season, Jota started the new season on 19 August, by closing Liverpool's 3–1 win against Bournemouth.[73][74] On 30 September, Jota was sent off just 24 minutes after coming on against Tottenham, leaving his team with 9 men. He would receive criticism from pundits; Stephen Warnock claimed that he had "been poor since coming on at half time, not up to the pace of the game at all", while Gary Neville agreed with the red card, as he believed Jota's actions were a "stupidity".[75] On 5 October, he scored his first goal in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League, closing the 2–0 win against Union Saint-Gilloise in a group stage match.[76]

In January 2024, with the absence of Mohamed Salah in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and his subsequent injury, Jota stepped up in absence, forming a successful partnership with Darwin Núñez, with scoring five goals and assisting another two in Liverpool's wins over Burnley, Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Chelsea, earning him the Premier League Player of the Month award for January.[77][78][79] On 17 February, he suffered a knee injury during Liverpool's 4–1 away win over Brentford, sidelining him for two months.[80] He made his return from injury in a 3–0 home loss to Atalanta in the first leg of the Europa League on 11 April.[81] Shortly after, Jota suffered another injury setback against Fulham on 21 April, leading him to miss Liverpool's remaining matches of the 2023–24 season.[82]

2024–25 season

edit

On 17 August, Jota scored Liverpool's first goal of the Arne Slot era in an 2–0 away win against Ipswich Town.[83] Over the following matches, Jota started as the club's number 9, due to fitting better into Slot's system tactically, as he could drop deep and act similar to a false nine, leading him to compete with Darwin Núñez for a starting spot.[84]

International career

edit

Youth

edit

Jota started playing for Portugal at under-19 level,[85] scoring his first goal on 29 May 2015 in a 6–1 home win over Turkey in 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification.[86] He won his first cap for the under-21 team on 17 November of the same year at not yet 19, playing 15 minutes in the 3–0 away defeat of Israel in another qualifier.[87] On 25 May 2018, he netted a brace for the under-21s in their 3–2 friendly win over Italy held in Estoril.[88]

Senior

edit

In March 2019, Jota was called up to the senior side for the first time, ahead of the opening UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Ukraine and Serbia.[89] Still uncapped, he was part of the squad that won the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals on home soil in June but did not make an appearance.[90] On 14 November, he made his debut by coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo in a 6–0 win against Lithuania in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier.[91] He scored his first international goal on 5 September 2020 in a 4–1 home win over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League.[92]

Jota was named in Portugal's final squad for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, scoring in a 4–2 group stage defeat to Germany.[93] He played all games in a round of 16-exit defeat to Belgium.[94] On 18 October 2022, Jota was ruled out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup due to a calf injury he sustained during a league match with Liverpool against Manchester City on 16 October 2022.[68]

On 11 September 2023, Jota scored a brace in Portugal's 9–0 home defeat of Luxembourg in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers, their biggest win in international history.[95] On 21 May 2024, he was named in Portugal's squad for final tournament in Germany,[96] where he made three appearances against Czech Republic[97] and Georgia in the group phase[98] and Slovenia (3–0 victory in a penalty shootout) in the knockout stage,[99] before Portugal was eliminated from the tournament by France in the quarter-finals after losing 5–3 in another penalty shootout.[100]

Style of play

edit

A versatile forward, Jota is capable of playing in several attacking positions: he has been deployed as a center forward, as an out-and-out striker, as a winger, as a false 9, or as an inside forward. Though ostensibly right-footed, he is very strong with both feet.[101] Jota is also known for his clinical finishing, explosive pace, dribbling ability, positional sense, movement and close control which make him especially effective on the counter-attack. Moreover, he is also known for his defensive contribution and a high work rate on the pitch.[102]

Personal life

edit

Jota, whose true surname is "Silva", chose to use the name "Jota" to distinguish himself from other players named Diogo and Silva in the youth academy. "Jota" is the Portuguese pronunciation of the letter "J", making this equivalent to calling himself "Diogo J".[103]

Jota's brother, André Silva, is also a footballer, who currently plays for Liga Portugal 2 side Penafiel.[104]

Jota is an avid gamer, and as of 6 February 2021, was ranked world No. 1 in FIFA 21's Champions Leaderboard.[105] He has his own eSports team known as Luna Galaxy (formerly "Diogo Jota eSports") and regularly streams on Twitch.[106] During the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic he took part in an invitational series of FIFA matches, run by the Premier League, eventually beating future teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final of the competition.[107]

Jota and his wife Rute Cardoso have a son born in 2021.[108]
