Ivan Perisic will miss the rest of the season after injuring his anterior cruciate knee ligament, while Manor Solomon hasn’t played since September due to a knee injury of his own. Jota appears to be the No 1 option for Postecoglou.
Postecoglou signed Jota in his first summer in charge of Celtic in 2021. Initially joining on loan, he became a firm fan favourite at Celtic Park.
Jota made his move permanent a year later and went on to make 83 appearances in total for the Scottish giants. He scored 28 times and registered 26 assists, winning five major honours before his exit.
Tottenham will hope to see their form pick up before the start of the January window. It doesn’t get any easier this weekend though, with a trip to Manchester City on the horizon.
