Diogo Jota will forever be Liverpool’s No. 20 after the Portuguese forward tragically passed away in July 2025.

Jota moved to Anfield from Wolves in September 2020 for an initial £41m, plus £4m in add-ons. The Reds sold Ki-Jana Hoever to Wolves to seal his switch.

Jota made his Liverpool debut in the EFL Cup against Lincoln City in September 2020, and the forward scored on his Premier League bow for the Reds to help beat Arsenal 3-1 four days later.

A constant menace in attack with a clinical eye for goal, Jota became immortalised on the Kop with his song to the tune of ‘Bad Moon Rising’ by Credence Clearwater Revival.

After he died alongside his brother in a car accident, Liverpool fittingly retired his No. 20 shirt, meaning his legacy will continue to ring through the ages at Anfield.

A Premier League, FA Cup and two-time Carabao Cup winner with Liverpool, Jota the player will forever be remembered on Merseyside. But it is Jota the person who will be most sadly missed.
