"Best bit of business they can do" – Anthony Joseph drops big claim as Celtic close on big deal

Celtic bringing Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota to Parkhead would be the “best bit of business” Ange Postecoglou could complete, according to Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph.

The duo spent last season on loan in Glasgow and both played a key part in the Hoops winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup.

Following months of speculation surrounding his future, Celtic finally secured the USA international’s services on a permanent basis earlier this month when Carter-Vickers penned a long-term contract from Tottenham.

Carter-Vickers, who scored four goals in his 45 appearances for the champions, made the switch for a £6m fee with potential add-ons.

Jota is expected to follow the defender through the entrance door, with Portuguese outlet Record stating that the winger is set to seal his permanent move once he returns from his holiday, with an announcement likely to happen this week.

Once Jota commits his long-term future to Celtic, he’ll cost around £6.5m, meaning they would have paid around £12.5m for the pair.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “They brought these players in to test them at this level and to see if they can play in the system that Ange Postecoglou wants to play and they flourished, they’ve been really good.

“They’ve been really good, two of the best players and two of the best signings they made last season, so if they get them both, that’s the best bit of business they can do.”

With Celtic’s first Scottish Premiership fixture now less than six weeks away, Postecoglou is clearly looking to get his business done early and has already wrapped up three signings, with Jota in line to become his fourth.
