Wolves have announced that Diogo Jota will be posthumously inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame following his death in a car crash aged 28 earlier this month.
Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, 25, were killed in the crash, which occurred in northern Spain on July 3.
The Portuguese international, who was part of Liverpool‘s Premier League-winning side last season, made 131 appearances for Wolves and scored 44 goals during a three-year spell at the club after initially joining on loan from FC Porto in 2017.
He then moved to Anfield in a £41million transfer in the summer of 2020 after impressing as part of the side that secured European football under Nuno Espirito Santo.
The West Midlands side confirmed the news via the release of an official club statement on Thursday evening.
It read: ‘Diogo Jota has been inducted into the Wolves Hall of Fame, in a tribute that honours both his remarkable achievements for the club and the deep impact his passing has had on the footballing world.
