Diogo Jota insists it was a 'no brainer' to re-sign with Liverpool on a long-term contract.

The Portuguese forward, signed from Wolves in 2020, has signed a new five-year deal to keep him at Anfield at 2027.

And Jota says he wants to reach his prime with the Reds.

Asked easy a decision was it to make, Jota said: "A no-brainer, I have to say. Obviously one of the best clubs in the world.

"Last year was good for me and for the team. Like I said, [it's] a proof we are doing things right and hopefully we can keep doing that."

And quizzed on the change in him as a player at the club, the forward added: "Well, [I'm] quite different, I have to say. I obviously played kind of a different role as well most of the time.

"It helped me grow as a player, obviously more mature now, more knowledge of the game. Everything is better, I have to say.

"We need to obviously keep improving because I think I didn't reach my prime yet. Hopefully during the duration of my stay here I'll do that.

"I said in my very first interview that I thought I suited the style of Jürgen and the team. I think I proved that instantly.

"Now it's a question of developing our game, developing the intensity we play [with] because although we are doing brilliantly, there's always one more step and that's the step we are trying to make every time."
