Former Rangers boss Alex McLeish expects Celtic to "bite" Benfica's hand off to secure Jota on a permanent deal this summer.
The Portuguese winger has been exceptional en route to Scottish Premiership title glory and a £6.5m agreement is understood to be close.
McLeish admits any early fears Jota would be style over substance were quickly eased as the 22-year-old thrilled Parkhead punters with goals and assists.
