Liverpool hero Phil Thompson is confident Diogo Jota will surprise fans at Anfield.
The former Wolves striker was snapped up by the Reds a fortnight ago.
Thommo said: "Do we have to talk about Liverpool? Do we. It's not often I find myself saying that. Aston Villa aside, in the transfer market, Liverpool had a really decent transfer market. I heard people saying following the defeat that they felt they hadn't had a good window – but that, to me, is harsh.
"As a Liverpool fan, you have to look at what we actually needed. We needed cover in the left-back position, Kostas Tsimikas fits that bill perfectly, a good quality international player.
"We needed a little bit of creativity, and it had been long talked about, and low and behold we ended up with Thiago. You couldn't have ticked a box much better. He can keep the ball when you want him to but can pass it quickly also. Great signing!
"We were looking at someone else in a more attacking position, and I did a lot of Wolves games last year, and I was absolutely raving about Diogo Jota for months! This fella could play for all of the big clubs – no disrespect to Wolves – and when Liverpool signed him I thought it was a bit like the Sadio Mane signing.
"When he joined, people were saying: 'Sadio Mane? Eh, plays for Southampton, is he any good?' and look at him now, a superstar. A world class player. And I think Diogo Jota can bring that to the club once again. He's a terrific signing.
"If I was grading their performance in the transfer market, I'd rate it a solid 8/10 in terms of the incoming signings."
