Jota to Celtic is ON as winger's permanent transfer 'set to be announced'

Star man Jota is reportedly on the verge of completing his permanent switch to Celtic in the coming days.

The winger was a smash hit during his season-long loan from Benfica with the clubs already agreeing a £6.5m permanent deal.

And now Portuguese outlet Record state a final resolution is incoming after the 23-year-old returns from his holiday.

An announcement is expected in the coming days, as Ange Postecoglou steps up his recruitment drive ahead of a return to the Champions League for the first time in five years.

The report states the Premeirship champions are pressing ahead and aim to announce Jota's long-term Celtic contract in the coming days.

He will join Cameron Carter-Vickers who penned a four-year deal after his own eye-catching loan stint in Glasgow's east end.

Jota forged himself as a fan favourite, netting 10 goals as he forged a deadly double act with striker Kyogo Furuhashi.

He dropped several clues in recent weeks and was snapped wearing the Hoops for a kickabout with supporters in New York City.
