There may possibly be more good news for Tottenham Hotspur and their supporters after an exceptional start to the season.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham are reportedly pursuing one of the most intriguing players who may be moving in the near future.
Better yet, the Al-Ittihad player is reportedly eager on the chance to reunite with Postecoglou, his former boss at Celtic.
With that in mind, Tottenham apparently have the edge over fellow suitors Celtic, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, and West Ham.
Jota joined the Saudi Pro League champions for £50million back in July amid links with Tottenham, who ultimately signed Brennan Johnson instead.
However, Jota has not been registered to play for the coming season. Saudi PL rules only allow eight foreign players to be named in each squad.
As per 90Min, talks are ongoing between Al-Ittihad and Jota to find a resolution. He hopes he can be released from his contract and immediately return to European football.
Jota can leave for free, Spurs are reportedly to be eager on pursuing a move. Postecoglou is said to be really keen on the player.
However, there is also the possibility that Al-Ittihad will keep hold of Jota. Then they could look to sell him in the January transfer window, said the report.
In our opinion
Tottenham has already had success this year by theoretically signing Manor Solomon for free, who is a good player.
Now, there’s a possibility Spurs could do it again, it Jota is released from his contract and becomes a free agent.
The £50million ace has been labelled a ‘magician’ and a ‘real entertainer’, as per Football Talent Scout.
Jota remains popular amid Celtic fans after dazzling at Parkhead en route to silverware aplenty.
Having Postecoglou at Tottenham undoubtedly increases the likelihood that Jota will join. At Spurs, Postecoglou is truly a gift that keeps on giving.
