Emile Heskey Reveals Surprising Comparison That Unveils Diogo Jota’s Hidden Genius

Heskey feels that Jota’s abilities went beyond mere technical skill. It was his versatility that made him such a driving force behind Liverpool’s various successes under Jurgen Klopp and current Reds boss Arne Slot.

“I think he was fantastic,” says Heskey. “He had a few injuries and he was always really missed when he was out. For me, when he was fit, he was one of the ones that was a guaranteed starter.

“Especially as a striker, but he could play on the wing as well, couldn’t he? And as a no.10. He was pretty much a complete player to be honest.”
