Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly solely interested in loaning Al-Ittihad winger Jota. This information comes from Football Insider.
We have covered a lot of stories in the past several weeks that have raised the possibility of Jota and Ange Postecoglou getting back together at the Spurs.
This includes a TEAMtalk update that claimed Spurs are now in the driver’s seat to sign the winger after the player was left out of the Al-Ittihad starting lineup because the team had more foreign players than could be permitted.
It was said that the Portuguese player’s representatives have been spotted at several Tottenham matches this season and are actively seeking a new club for their client.
Spurs only want to sign Jota on a loan deal
Ange Postecoglou is said to still be a huge fan of Jota, and Football Insider has revealed that Spurs are actually keeping an eye on the midfielder.
The article claims that the North London team is only considering a January loan for the Portuguese player, though.
This is believed to be because Spurs are not expected to match the attacker’s enormous weekly salary of £200,000 that he now receives in Saudi Arabia.
Jota hasn’t demonstrated anything at the highest level to justify Tottenham paying him the most money. The 24-year-old should not even be considered for a permanent Spurs deal until he is prepared to accept a salar.
