Celtic winger Jota wants to join Al Ittihad

Celtic winger Jota wants to leave for Al Ittihad in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter. The Italian journalist has claimed that Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad are keen on signing the Portuguese winger, and that the 24-year-old himself wants to make the move.

Jota has been superb for Celtic since his move from Benfica and has established himself as one of the best players for the Hoops. The winger has won the Scottish Premiership title twice, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup once each with the Bhoys.

Last season, the 24-year-old made 26 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic. Jota scored 11 goals and gave 11 assists in those games. It will be interesting to see if Celtic are willing to cash in on Jota and how much the Scottish Premiership champions would want for him in the summer transfer window.
