JOTA is keen to end his Saudi hell and join old boss Ange Postecoglou at Spurs in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But SunSport understands Postecoglou is still mulling over whether the Portuguese winger would be a good fit for the Premier League.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Wideman Jota, 24, shone under Postecoglou at Celtic in the last two seasons, netting 21 goals in 62 league appearances.<\/p>\n

That fine form saw him join the gold rush to Saudi Arabia in the summer as he moved for \u00a325million to Al-Ittihad, who also signed Karim Benzema and N\u2019Golo Kante.<\/p>\n

Yet his time in the Middle East has been a nightmare as Al-Ittihad decided not to register him for their squad to compete in the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n

That was due to the division\u2019s rules that clubs are only allowed eight foreign players in their contingent.<\/p>\n

Spurs are among the clubs, along with Wolves, to have shown interest in loaning the Benfica academy graduate when the winter window opens.<\/p>\n

Yet Postecoglou is believed to have not yet made his mind up over whether his former charge would suit England\u2019s top flight.<\/p>\n

Depleted Tottenham could do with reinforcements in the wide areas given they are currently missing wingers Richarlison, Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic due to injury.<\/p>\n
