Reports suggest that Tottenham is considering a January transfer move for Al Ittihad winger Jota amid uncertainties about his future in Saudi Arabia due to restrictions on overseas players.
The Portuguese talent, who made the switch from Celtic to Al Ittihad in the summer, is reportedly facing uncertainties in Saudi Arabia due to the club’s limitations on the number of overseas players.
According to the Evening standard , a potential move to Spurs is being considered for Jota. This move could see him reunite with his former Celtic manager, Ange Postecoglou, adding an intriguing dimension to the transfer speculation.
While Tottenham is notably in need of strengthening their attack this winter, the prevailing narrative in the Evening Standard’s report leans towards a defensive priority, particularly mentioning interest in players like Jean-Clair Todibo.
However, the allure of Jota lies in his exciting talent, offering a prospect that could aid Spurs in coping with the aftermath of Harry Kane’s departure during the summer.
Although not a direct replacement for Kane, the 24-year-old has the potential to alleviate the offensive burden, providing valuable support to key players like Son Heung-min within the Tottenham attack.
