Fulham enter talks over deal for Aston Villa playmaker Jota

According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are in talks with Premier League side Aston Villa over a potential deal for Spanish playmaker Jota, who only made the move to Villa Park in the summer transfer window.

Fulham boss Scott Parker could yet look to make some late transfer deals with the window closing on Friday, and one man that is reported to be on his radar is Aston Villa playmaker Jota. The Spaniard is down the pecking order at Villa Park and it is said that he could make a move away from the club just a matter of months after joining.

Jota signed for Aston Villa from rivals Birmingham City in the summer transfer window but could be allowed to make a move away from the Villans before the end of the month to free up some space on the Premier League side’s wage bill.

Now, the Daily Mail has said that Fulham and Aston Villa are currently holding talks over a potential move to Craven Cottage for the 28-year-old. Fulham boss Parker is a big fan of Jota and would like to bring him in to bolster his squad as they look to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Since first making the move to England with Brentford in 2014, Jota has played 144 games in the Championship for the Bees and Birmingham City. He was a star performer during his time at Brentford, scoring 23 goals and providing 11 assists in 78 appearances, also playing 75 times for Birmingham City, where he netted eight times and laid on 11 assists.

He made the move to Aston Villa in the summer and has played just 12 times since arriving, scoring one goal and providing two assists in the process.
