West Ham United are one of three Premier League clubs who have reportedly expressed an interest in Brentford attacker Jota.
National outlets claim the Hammers, Everton and Newcastle United are all interested in the Spaniard, who has one-year left on his contract at Griffin Park.
The 25-year-old initially impressed after joining Brentford from Celta Vigo in 2014, but became unsettled for family reasons and moved to Eibar on loan for eighteen months in January 2016.
However, the Bees recalled him in January and the Spaniard thrived back in the Championship, scoring 12 goals in 27 games during the second half of the season, helping Dean Smith’s men secure a mid-table finish.
Jota now has his eyes set on playing in the top flight and he would be available for £8m this summer, according to reports.
