Liverpool Forward Diogo Jota Embracing Extra Responsibility After Mane Departure

Diogo Jota is welcoming the extra responsibility at Liverpool following the departure of Sadio Mane.

The Portuguese forward will be given a more prominent role now that Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino have left Anfield.

Speaking whilst in Bangkok on a preseason tour, Jota told the club's website: "Obviously those [three] departed and only one arrived – well, Fabio [Carvalho] as well but I'm not sure where he is going to play yet.

"Of course, with the years you add extra responsibility. Yesterday in the rondo, I am not in the middle anymore when we start so time is passing as well, I am getting older!

"Of course that allows me to be one of the senior players, with that comes extra responsibility as well but I think that I am ready for that."
