Liverpool star, Diogo Jota has told manager, Arne Slot that he can spearhead the Reds attack if given the opportunity.
Recall that the Portuguese international netted a goal in the team’s 2-0 win over Ipswich in the Premier League.
However, in a chat with the club’s website, Jota stated that he can thrive as a striker if given the chance.
“It’s obviously a bit different from (Jürgen) Klopp where I maybe was useful out wide. I think here he (Slot) wants our wingers a lot more in one-v-ones and I think we have better options than myself!

“If I stay in the middle and wait for those chances to come in and score them, I think that is what I do the best so you can take that into the season.”
“The fans were there and we knew it was going to be a difficult first half because they would give it all – (it is) a long time since they have been in the Premier League.
“And then the second half they started giving us a little bit more space, which was enough for us to start building and start creating those spaces in behind.
“We created immediately a lot of chances and we ended up scoring two, so in the end I think it’s a deserved three points.”
“It’s massive. I think we are still adapting to the way he (Slot) wants us to play and coming here to a newly promoted team, it’s never easy and we end up with a clean sheet and three points so I think building on top of the wins is always a lot easier.”
