West Ham are closing on a deal for Al-Ittihad striker Jota.

The Portugal international is available from Al-Ittihad this month after joining last summer from Celtic.

Transfer journalist Santi Aouna is reporting West Ham and Jota have agreed on personal terms, so now they just have to get Al-Ittihad on board.

Jota is awaiting permission to fly to England to undergo a medical check.

At Celtic, Jota managed to become a crowd favorite with plenty of success, but it hasn't been a bed of roses in Saudi Arabia.
