Harry Redknapp has confirmed that Birmingham are in prime position to complete a deal for Brentford wing wizard Jota.

The Blues have had a bid accepted and the Spaniard is currently looking to pass a medical and agree personal terms.

And Redknapp, for whom transfer deadline day appears to be his favourite two days of the year despite numerous claims to the contrary, feels he has one of the best players in the division.

"A good player, a real talent. A real good footballer, can play, score goals,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"It's hoping to be done, it's not done yet. I just identify them then it's up to other people to get them in. I am not sure where we are at with it, hopefully it will get done.

"He plays off the right, he has got great ability, certainly there wouldn't be many better players in the Championship than him - that's for sure. He's up there with the best players I would think.

"We are very, very pleased to have got that one done."
