Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has been undergoing specialist sprint training.

Jota has been training with former sprinter Francis Obikwelu as he looks to get himself in peak physical condition ahead of the new season, says the Daily Mail.

The Portuguese star has already found his scoring boots for Liverpool in pre-season, having returned from his time off following his involvement in the Euros over the summer.

But with his focus now back on Liverpool, Jota has brought in some help in the form of 42-year-old Obikwelu in an attempt to bring the best out of himself and keep up with the pace of his teammates Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.

Obikwelu was born in Nigeria, but became a Portuguese citizen in 2001 and decided to compete for them from that point onwards.
