Aston Villa close to signing Jota Peleteiro

Jota's performances at Birmingham have been very good. In a season in which he started 33 times, the attacker scored three goals and given out eight assists. 

At 27 years old, Jota could make the step up to the Premier League, according to the 'Daily Star'. The man who came through the Celta academy is one of Aston Villa's targets ahead of next season. 

The Spanish footballer has a contract until 2021, but Villa have made Birmingham City an offer. The deal just needs Jota's approval. 

After playing in the Championship for the last four seasons, Jota could finally have the opportunity to play in the Premier League.
