Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs could move for him
Tottenham are interested in completing a move for Jota, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Jota played for current Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou at Celtic but has been frozen out at Al-Ittihad despite signing for them in the summer. The Portugal international was not registered for the domestic league due to the club having too many foreign players, and he's desperate to leave the club as soon as the first chance arises. The Spurs could offer him an exit door.
