Yes he does have good work rate and he is only 23 good age.

Lets wait and see dont wanna get ahead of myself after nightmares of Remy/Fekir...which turned out to be good news in the end !

just looked up his stats

looks like he took a step back last season in terms of goals and assists

18/19 P33 G9 A5

Looking at some of the goals he’s scored at Wolves, he’s listed primarily as a left winger but often ends up in the middle and has scored some absolute belters with either foot, including a cracker against Utd.

Always a plus.

Anyway, looks like he could cover right across the front 3 positions.

Thiago has announced his song. Presumably, one day he'll hear fans singing it.

Where you getting those scoring stats?

This is from the BBC....

Meanwhile, Liverpool have targeted another addition in Wolves forward Diogo Jota, who was a surprise omission from his side's Carabao Cup defeat by Stoke on Thursday.

After the game, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo repeatedly refused to state the reason for the Portuguese's absence.

Now it has emerged the 23-year-old former Porto and Atletico Madrid player is being targeted by Klopp's side in a deal that could be worth up to £35m.

Jota joined Wolves on loan in their 2017-18 Championship-winning campaign, making a £12.8m permanent switch in 2018. He has made 131 appearances, scoring 44 goals, including hat-tricks in last season's Europa League victories against Besiktas and Espanyol.

Any deal, which would represent a record transfer sale for Wolves, is likely to see full-back Ki-Jana Hoever move the other way.

The 18-year-old Dutchman can play either as a full-back or in central defence and fits Wolves' recent quest to bring in younger players they can develop.
