Fans have been excited since Diogo Jota completed the transfer to the Anfield stadium.
The Reds manager Jurgen Klopp have been able to organise his forward.
Liverpool have been a prominent forward with the trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Frimino .
Many fans have suggested that Jota could be a good competition for Frimino who has often been criticised for his lack of goals in the team.
Meanwhile Jota has revealed on his favourite football idol, stating it's actually Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid.
Liverpool star said Cristiano Ronaldo was his hero when he was growing up in Portugal.
Jota has scored nine goals in 15 appearances for Liverpool since his summer move from Wolverhampton.
“When you reach a new club, having an open mind is key to be able to adapt as quickly as possible,” Jota told The Athletic. “With the season underway already, it was up to me to find a way to get into the team and not the opposite. That’s what I did with the help of Jurgen.
“He’s a fantastic manager who took care of me. When I first arrived, he had a meeting with me and he explained how the team works. Then it’s down to the player to try to learn as fast as you can and to prove to the manager that you can be an important player for him on the field."
Jota revealed that he fell in love with Ronaldo during his outing in Portugal's run to the Euro 2004 final.
“My earliest memories are from the 2004 Euros when Portugal reached the final and unfortunately we lost," Jota said. "I was seven and I remember it well. Football has always been my passion."
It's been gathered that the forward made his debut for Portugal in November 2019, earning 10 caps and scoring three goals, and following his wonderful performance with Wolverhampton.
He added: “Cristiano Ronaldo was my hero. At that time, he was 19 but he was already playing at the Euros with so much quality. During my childhood, he was at Manchester United and Real Madrid. As Portuguese guys, we always looked upon him as our main reference.”
