Newcastle are reportedly keen on signing Brentford midfielder Jota this summer.
According to a report from West London Sport today, the Spaniard is on the Magpies’ radar as they look to bolster their creative options ahead of the 2017/18 Premier League campaign.
The 25-year-old is closing in on the last year of his contract with the Bees and this could very well prompt them to cash in, with them claimed to value him at around £8m.
However, the report does also state that Brentford would be willing to let him see out his deal at the club rather than cashing in this summer.
Jota impressed when he returned to Brenford last season and managed to notch a commendable total of 12 goals from just 27 appearances.
Rafa Benitez may be keen to add an attacking midfielder to his squad ahead of his top flight return, and could turn to his compatriot in doing so.
Everton and West Ham are both cited with interest too.
