Tottenham are reportedly in talks with Al-Ittihad winger Jota to sign him in the January transfer window.
Spurs are expected to be busy in the transfer window as Ange Postecoglou aims to sign replacements of injured players in his squad.
Postecoglou’s priority is signing a new center-back and a move for Genoa’s Radu Dragusin might be completed soon.
Injuries to Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have forced the Spurs manager to get a new defender at the club after missing both of his first choice central defenders.
According to 90min, the North Londonders are expected to complete the signing of Portuguese star Jota this month.
The 24-year old has made just 11 appearances for Al Ittihad this season. He previously played under Postecoglou at Celtic and left the club just when the manager exited to join the Premier League.
The Daily Mail has reported that Spurs are in the market to sign an attacking player and they have already held talks with Jota.
The left-winger was a bright performer for Postecoglou at Celtic and bringing in a player that the manager has already worked with makes sense.
Jota has failed to settle in Saudi Arabia after his move last summer. He would jump at the opportunity to join his former manager at Spurs who are performing well this season.
Spurs are fifth in the league and aiming to finish in the top four under Postecoglou in his first season at the club.
Here we go again with Levy and his loans instead of buying quality players. We need 2 new centre backs a dominant midfielder like Palhinha from Fulham and a centre forward like Vlahovic. Yet Levy wants cheap options like Jota, Tosin and Godfrey from Everton. If we are to progress we need to spend money and that is a horror thought for Levy
I don’t think Tosin is a bad idea because he’s homegrown. I don’t think we need two new centrebacks. One will do because I actually like to see Emerson Royal on the pitch in that central role because if what he has in him offensively..so in that respect he’s a good cover.
As for an attacker it makes sense to do a loan deal and not commit with so many young players on the roster, as well as saving money for a very conclusive commitment in summer.
As for the midfield, I do want some more goals from their and a true goal scorer would.be premium. But with Maddison to return, Bissouma, Sarr who has established his goal scoring potential, Rodrigo Bentancur, and even Kulusevski and of course Lo Celso in that midfield I think we have to make to and get the best out of them.
So the main thing is the striker up front. Definitely to cover Son when he’s gone, a s give him some decent rotation when he returns.
With speculation about Richarlison’s future, although we won’t sell him this winter, we perhaps need to be in an even better position to make a big move come summer.
Yeah, a loan deal for Jota isn’t a bad idea. But if we got a shot a Serhou Guirassy for Instance I think we should grab it with both hands…and feet.
COYS
Bentancur and kulu were loan deals in January. It’s the way some deals are done nowadays. I’m sure the club are looking at other positions at the same time. Also its all rumours as we been linked to about at least 10 players this January.
