Jota 'offered' transfer salvation as Celtic hero can end Saudi nightmare with offer to go up against Ryan Kent
dailyrecord.co.ukAfter seeing a move to Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq fall through, Jota is set to be handed an Al Ittihad escape route by Fenerbahce.That would see him team up, or battle for minutes on the left, with former Rangers winger Ryan Kent, although the ex-Liverpool youngster has found game time reduced recently in Turkey so more competition may not be the most welcome move.
Jota has been cut from Ittihad's squad after they exceeded their quote of eight foreigners following the signing of Luiz Felipe from Betis, who took his spot.Gerrard's attempt to take Jota on loan came too late in the day and the Saudi window closed before a deal could be finalised.
But the window remains open in Turkey and IttiMania claim that the Istanbul outfit are set to get the 24-year-old out of Saudi and into their squad, which would at least give him the prospect of getting on the pitch before January.
Fener are top of the Turkish Super Lig with maximum points from their opening three fixtures. Kent has featured in just one of those, with most of his appearances coming in the Europa Conference League qualifiers.Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.You can also follow our dedicated Rangers and Celtic podcast pages and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
