# Everton fans grow with excitement over Jota’s recent admission

Some Everton fans have reacted to comments made by Wolves star Diogo Jota, who admitted he loved watching the Toffees play.

[The 23-year-old arrived in the Midlands with Wolves in the summer of 2017](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40715875), and he has since become a key part of the club’s rise to European football and a potential top-six position in the Premier League this term.

The Portuguese international helped Wolves win the Championship title in 2017/18, and the UEFA Nations League with his country last term, further enhancing his reputation.

A consistent start for Wolves, Jota is capable of playing in a variety of forward positions, providing the likes of Raul Jimenez with countless assists.

Jota has a current deal at Molineux that will last until the summer of 2022.
