Curtis Jones has lavished praise on teammate Diogo Jota for his goalscoring prowess and ability to impact games even when the going gets tough.
The Englishman has come up with a new nickname for the Portuguese forward - "the ghost".
Jones
"I'm at the point now where I call him 'the ghost' because he's one of them where you think he's not involved in the game, and then he'll pick up the ball and it'll turn into a goal!
"I've been around a lot of world-class strikers from my Academy days into the U21s and then the [senior] team and he's right up there.
"When the game isn't going his way, it's quite easy for a striker to not be on the ball and not impact the game, but Jots is always in the game."
Jones added
"Even when, say, his touch is a little bit loose and it's not going right, the ball will bounce around the box and it's a Jota goal, and you think, 'Only Jots could do that!
"To have him in the team is amazing. He's a huge help, he always runs and when his confidence is the way it is now, there's no doubt that in every single game he's going to get goals,"
