Fulham are set to make a loan move for Aston Villa's Jota ahead of the transfer deadline day, according to the Daily Mail.

The move would see the winger add some depth to Fulham's squad as they look to compete for the top two places in the division.

They currently have some top wide players at the club, and Jota would be another that has proven himself at Championship level.

Competition

Jota would be able to bring something that is very key for all Championship sides that look to get promoted from the division. He'd bring competition. It's a hugely important asset to have and will only push the other players at the club.

Fulham have some very good wingers in Anthony Knockaert and Ivan Cavaleiro, but Jota would push them to the limit as they'd know if they don't perform that the loanee would come in and take their place in the starting XI. It would only end up being a positive for the club.

Skills

Jota has a lot of skills at his disposal, and he knows how to beat a man with his silky footwork. It's something he's been able to do at every club he's been at and makes him a player that can get the crowd off their feet and any given opportunity.

This can be a big boost, and in the games that Fulham dominate possession in, there is strong potential now for Jota to be the man that is able to unlock the door to Scott Parker's side scoring more goals.

Experience

He may not come across as a player who you'd straight away think of when it comes to past Championship players, but he does have a lot of experience in the league and knows exactly what it takes to win games in this division.

That could be ever so vital late on in games for Parker's sides, and he really could be a missing piece of the Fulham jigsaw. He's not necessarily the quickest winger, but when he's on the ball it's always important to know what you're doing in a calm manner.
