Tottenham step up interest in Al Ittihad winger Jota
As the January transfer window approaches, Tottenham Hotspur are intensifying its interest in Al-Ittihad winger Jota, a player who shares a history with current Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou from their time together at Celtic.
The North London club is gearing up for a potential loan bid to secure the services of the talented winger.
Jota, who has experienced limited playing time with Al-Ittihad this season, finds himself on the fringes after the Saudi club made high-profile signings in the form of Fabinho, Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kante during the summer transfer window.

According to the Times via football.london, Tottenham step up their interest in the player. The crowded roster has restricted Jota‘s opportunities on the field, making a potential move away from the club in January a plausible scenario.
Jota to the Lilywhites?
The winger’s familiarity with Postecoglou’s coaching style from their stint together at Celtic could play a crucial role in the potential move.
Having previously worked under the Spurs boss, Jota might find it easier to integrate into Postecoglou’s tactical setup and bring a valuable dimension to Tottenham’s attacking prowess.

Tottenham’s interest in Jota comes at a time when the club is looking to reinforce its squad, particularly in the attacking department. The January transfer window certainly presents an opportunity for Spurs to address their needs and add depth to the team. With Jota’s potential availability and past connection with Postecoglou, the winger could surely offer a dynamic option for Tottenham’s attacking endeavours.
