Diogo Jota says it's important Liverpool "refresh" the squad this summer.

The Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

Jota told Four Four Two: “In the last few years, we have always been there [near the top] – three seasons with over 90 points, which is incredible. Not to win the league with so many points is even more incredible. So, I think our target needs to be that: to do better than the season we've just had, for sure, and be fighting for titles.

“You always need to refresh the squad with new players. That's what we've done, and if we stick together for a long time, things will get better. In the season we've just had, we weren't there – it's the truth – but hopefully that was hitting the bottom and we can bounce back and try to fight for titles again.

“The season before last was very successful – almost the most successful ever in English football – and for me it was great as well. I was so happy that Liverpool offered me a new deal (last summer) and I could commit myself to the club for a long period of time.

“I know they trust me and that's important: to know that you're in a stable place, with people who give you the confidence to go out on to the pitch and produce excellent performances. This summer, I want to get through a proper pre-season, then hopefully have a great season."
