The long anxious wait to hear the announcement that Jota is now a Celtic player, after turning his loan move from Benfica into a permanent one, could now be over.
Indeed, Sky Sports News reporter Anthony Joseph has just provided a late night update to his Twitter profile, in which he states that Jota has just agreed a four year contract at Celtic. His tweet also revealed that the deal is worth £6.3m, with Benfica having 30% of any sell on fee; meanwhile the delay in getting the deal done has simply been due to the player being on holiday.
Hopefully there will be an official announcement from the club tomorrow. However, it now appears there is no doubt that this deal is complete and Celtic have got their man.
What a great piece of business for the club, as Ange Postecoglou looks to cement the work of last season and build further with additional recruits.
