The Brentford ace is reportedly wanted by West Ham United, but West Bromwich Albion should gatecrash the party.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis is under intense pressure from West Brom fans to strengthen his squad before the summer transfer window slams shut at the end of this month.
One particular area where the Black Country outfit undoubtedly need improving is the attacking midfield department, following last season’s toothless performances.
With this in mind, Pulis should consider bringing Brentford ace Jota to the Hawthorns this summer, following his mightily impressive campaign for the Bees last term.
The Spaniard scored 12 goals and registered five assists in just 21 outings for the west London outfit, and showcased his immense talent on a consistent basis.
The 26-year-old can play anywhere along the front-line, but is perhaps most effective when deployed in the number 10 role, slotted in behind the main striker, which would be ideal for West Brom, what with Pulis’ penchant for playing the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Jota is technically brilliant, and possesses tight ball control along with an expert eye for a killer pass, which would undoubtedly help the Baggies improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.
West Brom would not have things all their own way if they did decide to make a move for Jota, however, with the Sun reporting that West Ham are considering an £8 million move for the Brentford man.
Pulis should do everything within his power to bring the Spaniard to the Hawthorns though, if he genuinely wants to take his club forward.
