Last summer, Al-Ittihad recruited several foreign players to strengthen its team. Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Fabinho and even Jota have signed for the Saudi Pro League team. We quickly learned that the Portuguese, who was bought for 25 million euros, was not part of the plans of his club, which quickly reached the quota of foreign players who could play in the team.
Despite this, he has played 7 matches in all competitions since the start of the 2023-24 financial year. But it is possible that we will not see him again in the colors of Al-Ittihad. The Times reveals that Tottenham are following his case carefully. Indeed, Spurs are looking to strengthen following injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic. Ange Postecoglou, who is looking for a solution to this position in the form of a loan, slipped Jota’s name. A player he knows very well since he managed him at Celtic.
