The late Liverpool champion's name has entered his former club, Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, widely referred to as Wolves' Hall of Fame.
This was to honour the late Portuguese forward Diogo Jota for his contribution to the club.
The Hall of Fame is a special list or group created by the club to recognise players who made a big impact or had a memorable contribution during their time at the club.
Jota and his brother passed after the tragic car crash that claimed the lives of the Portuguese star and his brother, Andre Silva, who died near Zamora, Spain, in the early hours of Thursday, July 3, at approximately 12:35 a.m. local time.
"Diogo was not only a phenomenal footballer, but someone who carried himself with humility and kindness throughout his time at Wolves, and will be sorely missed by all of us," Wolves' director of football administration Matt Wild said in a statement.
During Jota's stint at the club, he helped them gain promotion to the Premier League in 2018, notching 44 goals in 131 appearances before joining Liverpool in 2020.
"There is such a feeling of sadness and disbelief around this awful tragedy that we wanted to make this tribute of our own as soon as we could," Wolves Hall of Fame chairman John Richards said.
"We hope it will bring a little comfort to those who were close to Diogo and André, and we trust Wolves supporters will understand that this gesture is made with real love and admiration, and also fully justified."
Wolves also said they plan to mark Diogo and André's passing in their final preseason friendly against Celta Vigo and their opening game of the new Premier League season against Manchester City.
Billy Wright, Derek Dougan and Steve Bull are among those already inducted in the club's Hall of Fame, which was established in 2008.
Meanwhile, the funeral of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva,was held on July 5 at 10 a.m. local time in the Portuguese town of Gondomar.
The bodies of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva were sent to Gondomar, Portugal, on the night of Friday, July 4, just after 11:00 p.m. local time.
A convoy of hearses transported them from Puebla de Sanabria, Spain, near the site of the tragic crash, and they were met with quiet applause and mourning crowds outside the local chapel.
According to ESPN as reported by Spain's Guardia Civil (Civil Guard).An investigation team has reported that the two's accident occured when they overtook a car, their tire blew which led to their veering of the road and crashing into a barrier, and then immediately burst into flames.
