Jota checked into Celtic and revealed there’s nowhere else he wanted to be. The Portuguese star sealed his £6.5 million move with an admission that feels at home and his best is yet to come.
But Jota does admit it’s emotional to cut ties with Benfica and likened his departure from the Lisbon giants to Kieran Tierney leaving Celtic for Arsenal. The 23-year-old signed a five-year deal to join on a permanent basis after last season’s explosive loan campaign
Jota is thrilled and said: “The club speaks for itself. The experience I had last year was amazing so it was an easy choice to make. There wasn’t a single moment where I thought: I wanted to stay. It was all in one. It was just natural during the weeks and months. I had some experiences in the past that were not so good. When I first came on loan, it was just another experience.
