Portugal forward Diogo Jota has been rewarded for his excellent first two seasons at Liverpool with a new contract, tying him to the Premier League club until June 2027.

Jota joined the Reds from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2020 for a fee of around €50m. In his two seasons at Anfield the former Porto man has established himself as a vital member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, contributing 34 goals in 85 appearances.

João Félix is preparing for what feels like a vital campaign ahead with Atletico Madrid, having enjoyed arguably the most positive run of form since arriving in Spain towards the latter stages of last season.

Félix came off the bench to score a stylish winner for Los Rojiblancos against Manchester United in their 1-0 friendly victory on Saturday, after which the former Benfica man was asked if he felt 2022-23 could be “his year” in La Liga.

Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen

The Scottish Premiership kicked off this weekend and for Portuguese star Jota it was a case of picking up where he left off at the end of last season with defending champions Celtic.

The former Benfica man scored a wonderful goal as the Hoops beat Aberdeen 2-0 at Celtic Park, having made his previous loan deal from the Lisbon club permanent this summer following tremendous form last term.

Bruno Fernandes burst onto the scene at Manchester United in January 2020 with a flurry of goals and assists, finding the target on 12 occasions through 23 appearances while teeing up a further eight efforts for grateful team-mates.

His role as a creative talisman for the Red Devils was quickly cemented, with his individual bar raised even further in the 2020-21 campaign. The Portugal international netted on 28 occasions that season and laid on another 17 strikes for those around him.
