Aston Villa have confirmed that Jota has departed the club after reaching a mutual agreement to terminate his contract.

The Spanish attacking midfielder arrived at Villa Park from Birmingham City in the summer of 2019 and made a total of 16 appearances, scoring once in last season’s Carabao Cup win at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Jota started Villa's first five Premier League games of last season, setting up Wesley Moraes' first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Everton.

Just two outings have come this term, stepping off the bench in the Carabao Cup matches against Burton Albion and Stoke City.
