Merseyside is used to tragedy becoming part of its football narrative, but the death of their beloved striker has cut deep

Liverpool artist John Culshaw has confirmed plans to paint a mural to Diogo Jota following his tragic passing at the age of 28. The Portugal forward and his brother, Andre Silva, were involved in a devastating car crash that claimed the lives of both siblings last Thursday in a region of northern Spain.

Police said Jota died along with his brother Andre Silva, also a soccer player, in a car accident near the northwestern city of Zamora, Spain.
