Jota has been linked with a sensational move to the Premier League as he's still not registered at Al Ittihad.

The 24-year-old joined the Saudi Arabia movement as he signed for Al Ittihad in a transfer worth £25 million - a club-record fee paid for a player.

He followed in the footsteps of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante after starring at Celtic, where he scored 15 goals in all competitions last season.

It's been claimed Al Ittihad fans were left unhappy with the club's transfer of Jota amid major players signing for their rivals.

He has not been registered to play for the coming season, with Nuno Espirito Santo unable to call upon his services.

Talks are ongoing between Al Ittihad and Jota to find a solution, with the Portuguese hoping that he can be released from his contract and return to Europe.

According to 90 min, if Jota is available on a free transfer, then Tottenham would be interested in pursuing a deal.

The winger played under Ange Postecoglou at Celtic, with the Spurs boss signing him for Celtic during his managerial spell.

The 58-year-old is keen on bringing Jota to Spurs.

However, the Saudi Pro League side could hold onto him and sanction a transfer in January so they can recoup some of his fee.

The North London outfit aren't the only team keeping tabs on his situation in the Middle East as Brentford, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham and West Ham United are all interested, too.

After Spurs failed to sign Jota, Postecoglou drafted in Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest in a transfer worth £47.5 million.

He's played two games for his new side this season, with Postecoglou starting him against Arsenal last month.
