# Liverpool: Fans explode as Diogo Jota swoops PFA award

**Many Liverpool fans reacted in delight over the news that forward Diogo [Jota](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/diogo-jota/) has won the PFA Player of the Month award for November.**

The 24-year-old has been an instant hit for Jurgen Klopp’s side since his £41m move from Wolves in the summer.

Since then, Jota has gone on to score nine goals in his first 17 appearances in all competitions for the Reds ([TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/340950)) and has averaged 2.2 shots per game and an 83.2% pass success rate ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/235755/Show/Diogo-Jota)).

After his goals against Leicester City and Brighton last month, the PFA deemed him worthy enough to pick up their monthly accolade (via the [club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/419681-diogo-jota-wins-pfa-fans-player-of-the-month-award)).

Jota pipped the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Harry Kane, Sergio Reguilon, Jamie Vardy and James Ward-Prowse to the award.

Unsurprisingly, supporters were delighted for Jota, with one fan even describing him as the new Fernando Torres at Liverpool.
