Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is reportedly keen on a reunion with Jota in January. Postecoglou had the winger at Celtic and could sign him on loan following a run of three straight defeats for his Spurs side.<\/p>\n
Tottenham made seven signings in the summer transfer window, while also taking up options to sign Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski on permanent deals. The arrivals of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario in particular have proven to be a success.<\/p>\n
Spurs won nine of their opening 10 matches of the Premier League season, their best start to a campaign since they last won the league in 1960\/61. However, a string of injuries and suspensions has seen both performances and results drop in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou is set to explore the January market in order to bolster his squad options. And, in Jota, he could be signing a player he knows very well.<\/p>\n

Jota only joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad in the summer but has been made available for loan.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old left Celtic for a fee worth \u00a325million but has made just five substitute appearances in the Saudi top flight. Rules state clubs can only have eight foreign players in their squad and Jota has suffered from later arrivals of Fabinho and Luis Felipe.<\/p>\n Spurs are set to prioritise the signing of a centre-back in January, with the recent absences of Van de Ven and Cristian Romero showing the alarming lack of depth in that position. However, The Times says a left-winger will also be targeted.<\/p>\n\n
