Jota has expressed his excitement at joining Al-Ittihad as he broke his silence following his Celtic transfer exit.
The Saudi Pro League side - who boast superstars like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in their ranks - have snapped up the Hoops star in a big money move on a three-year deal.

His old club are quids in after inserting a sell-on fee in the deal. Last season he netted 15 goals and 12 assists across all competitions including a Champions League strike against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in a moment he described as 'one of the best moments of my life'
