Former Wolves forward Diogo Jota has been inducted into the club’s hall of fame following his recent death.
Jota died in a car crash along with his brother Andre Silva in Spain on July 3, aged 28.
The Portugal international, who had just won the Premier League with Liverpool, began his career in English football at Molineux, scoring 44 goals in 131 appearances between 2017 and 2020.

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.
Wolves have remembered Jota’s contribution to the club with his induction into the hall of fame, which is run independently by a committee.
“There is such a feeling of sadness and disbelief around this awful tragedy that we wanted to make this tribute of our own as soon as we could,” said Wolves hall of fame chairman and club vice president John Richards on the club website.
“Like everyone else, we’ve been stunned by events, and we remember what a wonderful player Diogo was for Wolves during that unforgettable promotion season under Nuno and our early years back in the Premier League.
“His record of 44 goals at Wolves, and then 65 at Liverpool as a Premier League title winner, speaks volumes. So many fans across the game – especially in Portugal after he helped them win the Nations League this summer – are feeling his loss deeply. We saw no reason to delay this decision.
“We hope it will bring a little comfort to those who were close to Diogo and Andre, and we trust Wolves supporters will understand that this gesture is made with real love and admiration, and also fully justified.”
Wolves are planning to remember their former player further, firstly in the home friendly against Celta Vigo and then against Manchester City on the opening day of the season.
