Celtic have received a record fee for Jota as the 24-year-old signs for Al-Ittihad. The Jeddah club are managed by Nuno Espirito Santo and have already signed Ngolo Kante and Karim Benzema but their latest signing is the ex-Benfica starlet.

It is believed that Celtic will receive in excess of £25m for the Portuguese star, who becomes the most expensive export in Scottish football.

Given the money that the Saudis are throwing at bringing talent to their league, Celtic have stood by their valuation of Jota and have been rewarded with a record fee.

In 83 appearances, Jota has scored 28 goals and assisted 26 times. The Celtic supporters adored the Portuguese star but the wages on offer were too lucrative to turn down.

Good luck to the player. Many talented players have come to Celtic and moved on and the club have moved for their replacements, the Scottish Champions must do this now by finding a suitable replacement for Jota.
