Huge Jota to Celtic transfer update as winger 'arrives in Glasgow'

Jota has arrived in Glasgow to seal his transfer return to Celtic, according to reports.

It's thought the 25-year-old winger has touched down in Scotland to put the finishing touches on his switch to the Scottish Premiership.

The Scottish Sun reports Jota has arrived in the city ahead of a £9m transfer move from Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Deals for Jota to join Celtic and Kyogo Furuhashi to head to Rennes for a fee in the region of £10m are expected to be completed over the weekend.

Jota had been due to fly to Glasgow earlier this week but had his flight delayed due to Storm Eowyn.

On Jota, Brendan Rodgers said: "Likewise, it is not finalised yet but a player that clearly would be an incredible addition to our squad given what he has done before and his qualities.

"Hopefully, we can confirm that in the next 24 hours."

Discussing Kyogo's impending departure, he added: "He has obviously travelled for a medical and what not so that will probably be confirmed I would say in the next 24 hours.

"He was one of our top players and someone who fit perfectly into how we want to play.

"Kyogo had expressed an interest to leave a number of months back and then that expression becomes stronger and then it comes to the stage where he wants to leave.

"Sadly, we have to then do a deal and look to finalise that for him. He has been an incredible player for the club. He is not someone that we wanted to lose."
