Diogo José Teixeira da Silva (born 4 December 1996), known as Jota, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Primeira Liga side Porto, on loan from La Liga club Atlético Madrid.

Club career

Paços Ferreira

Born in Massarelos, Porto, Jota joined F.C. Paços de Ferreira's youth setup in 2013, from Gondomar SC. He was promoted to the main squad at the start of the 2014–15 season, and made his senior debut on 19 October 2014 by starting in a 4–0 home win against Atlético S.C. for the Taça de Portugal.[1]

Jota first appeared in the Primeira Liga on 20 February 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Diogo Rosado in a 2–2 home draw against Vitória de Guimarães.[2] He scored his first goals in the competition on 17 May, netting a brace in a 3–2 home success over Académica de Coimbra[3] and becoming the youngest player to score for the club in the top tier in the process.[4]

On 30 May 2015, Jota signed a new five-year deal with Paços, keeping him tied up until 2020.[5] In the first game of the campaign, a 1–0 win over Académica at the Estádio da Mata Real on 17 August, he was sent off at the end for pushing Hugo Seco; Ricardo Nascimento was also sent off for retaliating on his teammate's behalf.[6]

Atlético Madrid

On 14 March 2016, Jota agreed a five-year contract with Atlético Madrid effective as of 1 July.[7]

Porto (loan)

On 26 August 2016, Jota joined Portuguese club Porto on a one-year loan.[8]
