Brentford manager Dean Smith has confirmed that his club are yet to receive any offers for West Ham target Jota.
Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, Swansea and Burnley have all been credited with an interest in the winger.
However, no club has yet come in with a bid for the Spaniard, who shone at Brentford last season.
Speaking to GetWestLondon, Smith said this:
Jota was led to believe there was an imminent bid. A bid hasn’t come in and he’s happy to play for Brentford.
He’ll be available for Southampton. He’s looking forward to playing.
Jota scored 12 goals in 23 games for the West London club after spending the first half of the season on-loan to Spanish outfit Eibar.
The 26-year-old scored 11 Championship goals in the 2014/15 season as Brentford reached the play-off semi-finals, which attracted interest at the time.
That earned him a loan move to Eibar, where he failed to really make his mark but that did not stop them from signing him at the start of last season.
Jota looks like he could make his permanent exit from Brentford this summer.
