Official: Jota Silva joins Besiktas for a bargain after snubbing Sporting | OneFootball

It's official! Jota Silva joins Besiktas on loan from Nottingham Forest. Without a spot in England and after failing to move to Sporting - which was commented on by Rui Borges, explaining the situation - the forward was presented to his new team.

"I feel very good, I'm excited to be here, it's an honor to defend the club, I'm excited to start", admitted Jota Silva upon arriving in Turkey, being received enthusiastically by the fans present in Istanbul to support the player.

Moved by the crowd that came to welcome him, Jota Silva made a request: "My message to the fans is to keep supporting this great club, continue with their passion, we need it, we will give everything on the field to defend this great club".

It's worth remembering that Sporting had an agreement to secure Jota Silva for 4.5 million euros, also covering the salary of 2.5M, with a purchase option of 15.5M. Besiktas secured the player for just 2.5M with the possibility of a permanent transfer for around 17M.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest last season: 31 in the Premier League, five in the FA Cup, and one in the English League Cup. Rarely a starting option in England, the winger scored four goals and made two assists. The player was a substitute used in the first round of the Premier League this season.
