Wolverhampton Wanderers currently have Diogo Jota on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Danny Batth has suggested to the Daily Mail that he wants Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign Diogo Jota from Atletico Madrid on a permanent transfer.

Jota’s stock seems to be rising by the game at the moment with the striker impressing for Wolves.

Jota was in wonderful form at the weekend, as Wolves beat Aston Villa.

The young forward blasted home the opener for Nuno’s side, before setting up the second in a 2-0 victory.

And Batth admits that Jota has the quality to play in the Premier League.

“Hopefully he gets a chance to do it [play in the Premier League] himself and hopefully it is with us,” the centre-back said.

If Wolves are to give Jota the chance to play in the Premier League, then they will need to sign the forward on a permanent deal.

As things stand Wolves only have Jota until the end of the season, when his loan deal from Atleti is due to expire.

Wolves are currently leading the way in the Championship table, and are rated as the bookies’ favourites to be promoted this term.
