Liverpool’s owners will pay the final two years of the late Diogo Jota’s contract to his family, according to Reds manager Arne Slot.

The Portugal striker died aged 28 in a car crash with his brother Andre Silva on July 3, just 11 days after the father of three had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso.
