Birmingham City have completed the Deadline Day signing of Brentford winger Jota.

The 26-year-old has signed a four-year deal at St. Andrew`s, with the fee said to be in the region of £6m that could rise to £8m – a club-record fee.

Jota, a proven creative winger at Championship level, becomes the second player to join from the Bees after Harlee Dean arrived yesterday.

The Spaniard enjoyed an extremely productive second half of last season where he scored 12 times in just 21 appearances, after he returned to Brentford following a loan spell with Eibar.

Blues have beaten off competition from the likes of West Ham, Fulham and Middlesbrough to secure the services of Jota.

Welcome to Blues, Jota!
