Diogo Jota mural near Molineux revealed

The mural, pictured on Friday, has been painted on a wall facing the garden of The Leaping Wolf pub on Waterloo Road

A mural to remember footballer Diogo Jota is being completed near Wolves' stadium.

The former Wolves and Liverpool player died in a car crash in northern Spain on 3 July alongside his brother, Andre Silva, and huge portraits of Jota have been painted on a wall facing The Leaping Wolf pub on Waterloo Road.

Graffiti artist Joe Miles has said on the venue's Facebook page that he had been at the site since Monday and the mural would be completed on Friday.

A BBQ event will be held to mark its completion from 17:00 BST.

A fundraiser has helped pay for the artwork near Molineux.

Mr Miles said: "Hopefully... the Liverpool fans, they can all come and enjoy it, 'cos it is so close to the ground.

"Not even [just] football fans, just people that are sort of interested in art as well, they can come and have a look.

"It's pretty accessible and you can see it from the road as well, so it's not hard to find."

A moment of silence in memory of Jota, who died aged 28, and his brother will be held at all Premier League matches this weekend.

Players will also wear black armbands, while messages and images will be shown on the big screens in stadiums.

Jota joined Wolves on loan in the 2017-18 season before making a permanent switch in 2018.

He then left the club to join Liverpool in 2020.
