Former Celtic star and Portuguese professional footballer Jota makes move to finally sign for a premier league club

Over the course of their history, Celtic have had their fair share of entertaining players, and the Scottish champions are known for playing lively attacking football.

Jota, a Portuguese winger, was a member of Parkhead for two years until leaving for Al-Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian club, for a fee of twenty-five million pounds last summer. Jota is one of the few players in modern times who has brought more color to the club.

According to Transfermarkt, the 24-year-old player became an essential component of Ange Postecoglou’s tenure in Glasgow. During his time with Celtic, he made 83 appearances across all competitions, registering 28 goals and 26 assists overall.

He departed Glasgow for the much warmer climate of Jeddah for an eye-popping sum of £192,000 per week upon his ultimate departure, which left the supporters of the Hoops feeling disillusioned. His departure came after he had won five titles.

In spite of this, he has been through a bit of a nightmare in the Middle East, where he has only had a minimal influence at Al-Ittihad after being excluded from their league team [Hi Koura, as mentioned by The National].

According to Transfermarkt, the former Benfica player has appeared for his new team a total of eleven times and has scored two goals throughout any given game.

Just a few short months after his heartbreaking departure from the sport, it is now possible that he will make an unexpected comeback to football on this side of the world.

Now, Jota, a former top player for Celtic, might wind up playing for West Ham United.

Jota, a former Celtic icon, may potentially find himself working for West Ham United under the direction of David Moyes before the transfer window ends. This is a sudden and unexpected turn of events.

Santi Aouna, a reporter for Foot Mercato, has asserted that the Hammers and Al-Ittihad are currently discussing the finer elements of a potential agreement before the Portuguese international can come to England and undergo a medical examination.

Moving from Saudi Arabia to the Premier League probably wouldn’t have been something anyone could’ve anticipated a few months ago for Jota, considering the recent nature of his big-money transfer to the Middle East.

Despite this, he is more than capable of achieving success at the highest level, and it is my hope that he will be able to offer a positive account of himself in London in the event that a move does in fact take place.
