Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Al Ittihad winger Jota ahead of the January transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is pursuing a January reunion with Jota.
According to The Times, Tottenham have’stepped up their interest’ in signing Jota.
Tottenham are currently without two wingers due to serious injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic.
Tottenham Hotspur may focus on adding another winger in the January transfer window now that Son Heung-min is playing more centrally.
Tottenham Hotspur are increasing their interest in Jota.
Tottenham are reportedly in talks to sign Al Ittihad winger Jota with the January transfer window just over a month away, according to the Times.
At Celtic, the Portuguese winger and Postecoglou were a match made in heaven.
Jota slammed 28 goals and 26 assists in 83 games, becoming a Celtic fan favourite while generating genuine moments of magic.
Al Ittihad pounced over the summer, paying £25 million for Jota before things went wrong in Saudi Arabia.
Jota has found himself on the outskirts of the Al Ittihad faction, and he may now wish to quit only months after joining.
Tottenham are now seeking a loan agreement, reportedly encouraged by suggestions that Jota would like to rejoin Postecoglou rather than join Newcastle United.
Tottenham should look for a long-term solution in Jota’s departure.
Tottenham benefits financially from a loan arrangement, but they should hunt for a permanent solution in this move.
Jota does not appear to have a bright future at Al Ittihad, and Tottenham would be wise to set a fee in case the Portuguese ace shines again under Postecoglou.
Jota, dubbed a ‘genius’ by Ally McCoist, appears to be the type of player who might add a spark to Tottenham‘s assault and provide terrific competition down the left wing.
Postecoglou will be crucial in this situation; he knows Jota well and will know whether he can be a long-term Premier League player or just a stopgap.
We believe Jota has the potential to become a star in England, and if Tottenham decides to loan him out, having the option of a long-term stay would be perfect.
