Wolves will forever mourn the loss of former player Diogo Jota, who tragically lost his life at the age of 28.
Both Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, were taken far too soon following a fatal car accident.
There are no words that can be said to describe the immense feeling of loss following the passing of the two siblings.
Jota will forever be honoured by Wolves, as fans showed their appreciation for the former forward outside of Molineux, with the footballing world in mourning following the devastating news.

Raul Jimenez pays tribute to Diogo Jota
The Wolves family have come together to honour Jota, whose sudden passing shocked the world.
Tributes have been pouring in, and always will, for the 28-year-old and his brother, who represented Penafiel in the Portuguese second tier.
It’s difficult to imagine how those who crossed paths with Jota are finding the strength to play so soon after his tragic death, with Raul Jimenez the latest to be involved in action.
Jimenez was in action for his country in the Concacaf Gold Cup Final, where he dedicated a special tribute to his former Wolves teammate and friend.
