Jota has paid a tribute to Celtic after ending his two-year spell in Glasgow to join Al-Ittihad.
The winger was a popular figure in Ange Postecoglou's attacking system but his exit was sealed when the big-spending Saudi Arabian side came calling with a £25m deal for the Premiership champions and life-changing wages for Jota. In an emotional address to his previous club and fans through the middle-east side's club channels, the 24-year-old has reflected on a turbulent ride at Parkhead full of highs and silverware.
He said: "No words will ever express how grateful I am for this ride. And let me tell you something, what a f****** ride. I've stepped in to Paradise as a young lad with dreams to fulfil and a single goal, to find happiness doing what I love most.
