This season has been a difficult one for many of Liverpool’s forward stars.

Darwin Nunez has not adapted to the style of play Arne Slot wants to use at Anfield, Luis Diaz’s numbers should be better than what they are, and Diogo Jota has once again run into injury issues.

Jota was a key part of Slot’s plans at the start of the Premier League campaign with the Portuguese star impressing during pre-season games last summer before being handed the starting spot at centre-forward for Liverpool’s opening game against Ipswich Town.

Once again, injury issues have affected the 28-year-old’s season, which has led to the striker playing 28 games, in which he has produced eight goals and four assists.

“It has been a difficult season for me personally,” Jota said.

And I always try to do my best, no matter what.”

Liverpool have no plans to sell Jota this summer and the 28-year-old hopes to show why throughout the remainder of the season.

With the Premier League title still to be won, Jota will be one of many stars who hope to contribute to Liverpool’s success throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign, which he has often done since completing his £41m move from Wolves in 2020.

“I think in the end, as long as you keep being useful to the team, that’s the most important thing,” Jota said in Liverpool’s official matchday programme for Everton.
