GREAT PROGRESS: Ipswich town wants to sign a mighty player from………

Tottenham are competing with Fulham and Crystal Palace for the 24-year-old Portuguese winger Jota, according to 90min. The former Celtic star’s future with Saudi club Al-Ittihad is questionable, as he could return with former manager Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.

The Saudi Pro League was present throughout the summer window, as was their pursuit of some elite European talent. Some of those teams brought in quality talent from the continent, notably former Celtic star Jota, who Al-Ittihad spent £25 million for.

While he appeared to be a major signing for compatriot Nuno Espirito Santos, internal issues have caused Al-Ittihad to take a drastic turn. Jota was omitted from the club’s Saudi Pro League team, raising questions regarding his future.

As things stand, Jota is already in discussions with Al-Ittihad to find a solution. Some sources insist he will look to cancel his contract and take a massive pay, while others suggest the Saudi side could sell the forward to a European club.

These issues began to surface before the European window closed, and Tottenham was interested in signing him. However, the athlete stayed with Al-Ittihad with the hope of resolving his troubles and beginning his career in the Saudi Pro League.

Jota is expected to leave the club now that things have become obvious, and Tottenham are exploring a move. A reunion with Ange Postecoglou appears to be in the cards, as the Australian manager was instrumental in the signing when at Celtic.
