Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says he isn't surprised by Diogo Jota's remarkable impact at Liverpool.
Jota has proven an instant success at the Premier League champions since arriving from the Midlanders in September for an initial fee of £41million.
His hat-trick in Tuesday's 5-0 Champions League win at Atalanta - becoming only the third Reds player to score a treble away in Europe - moved him on to seven goals in 10 games for his new club, with six coming in his last four outings.
And Nuno, who brought Jota to Wolves from Atletico Madrid having earlier worked with the player at Porto, is delighted for his former forward.
“We are very happy for Diogo,” said Nuno. “He is enjoying his football, enjoying his momentum, he is doing amazing for Liverpool
"I think Klopp is really happy with him. For us, we worked together for four seasons and when a player goes and succeeds it makes us happy.
“In the case of Diogo it’s not a surprise. Diogo loves the game, he is committed, he lives for football, he plays and watches all the games.
"I am really happy for Diogo and I hope he continues and enjoys it game by game. It’s a joy to see him smile.”
