José Ignacio Peleteiro Ramallo (born 16 June 1991), commonly known as Jota and Jota Peleteiro, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder. A product of the Celta Vigo youth system, he only played a handful of times for club's first team, despite appearing regularly for Celta B. He had a loan spell with Real Madrid Castilla in 2012–13 and helped Eibar gain promotion to La Liga while on loan in the 2013–14 season. He subsequently spent three years with English club Brentford, during which time he again played on loan at Eibar. In August 2017, he joined Birmingham City for a club record fee. Halfway through a four-year contract, he joined local rivals Aston Villa, where he played little, and left in October 2020 to spend the rest of the season with Alavés.
