Glasgow World have revealed that Al-Ittihad’s sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo could hand Jota a lifeline and could thus scupper Tottenham’s chances of landing the winger.
Plenty of outlets have talked up the chances of Ange Postecoglou reuniting with Jota at Spurs after the winger’s struggles at Al-Ittihad over the last few months.
This includes an update from TEAMtalk which suggested that Tottenham are now in pole position to snap up the winger after he was frozen out of the set-up at the Saudi side due to the club being over the limit of foreign players allowed.
It was explained that agents representing the Portuguese star are working hard to find their client a new club and that they have been seen at a number of Spurs games this season.

Jota could stay after Nuno Espirito Santo sacking
However, Glasgow World have now suggested that Nuno’s departure from Al-Ittihad could now see Jota being given a second chance at the Saudi club.
The former Spurs boss was sacked after following a five-match winless run, with assistant coach Hassan Khalifa taken over on an interim basis.
It is suggested that the former Celtic man could be handed a fresh start at the Jeddah-based club under Khalifa, thus potentially scuppering a January move.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham and a number of clubs across Europe will be following Jota’s situation closely over the next couple of months to see if the winger’s fortunes at Al-Ittihad change ahead of January.
