Jota is a novel participant. He’s not blessed with a severe quantity of tempo and is sort of small in top in comparison with our different attacking choices like Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, however the former Wolves man is such a intelligent participant with the ball at his toes.
His objective final evening means he now has seven objectives in 15 appearances (throughout all competitions) and will probably be in with a shout to start out in opposition to Brentford on Sunday.
