Wolverhampton Wanderers have posthumously inducted former forward Diogo Jota into the club’s Hall of Fame on Friday. The Portuguese international tragically lost his life earlier this month in a car accident in Spain's Zamora, at the age of 28.
"Diogo Jota has been inducted into the Wolves Hall of Fame. It's a tribute that honours both his remarkable achievements for the club and the deep impact his passing has had on the footballing world,” read the club statement.
