Jota officially joins Celtic on permanent deal

Lee Costello

“I just fell in love.

After a fantastic debut season at Glasgow, Celtic fans have finally got the news that they were waiting for – Jota has officially signed for the club.

The Portuguese star spent last season on loan to Celtic, and helped them regain the Scottish Premiership title.

The winger scored 13 goals in 40 appearances, and at just 23-years old, hoops fans will be hoping to see him be a success inn the green and white for years to come.

“I’m feeling great,” Jota said. “It’s a tremendous step in my career.

Jota signs four-year deal at Celtic.

“I’m really happy to have joined Celtic and I just want to give some joy to the fans, to our team and conquer as many things as we can.

“It was a great experience last season. I already knew, more or less, how big Celtic was but I think people only realise once you are inside the club and inside the structure.

“With the season that we had with all the winning and all the trophies, I think it was very good for everyone, and I just got to know the club in another perspective, and I just fell in love. So I think it’s a good time to be here and I just want to develop.”
