Celtic complete Jota return as Kyogo joins Rennes
Jota return is latest Celtic transfer masterclass but he needs time
Jota's arrival is another Celtic transfer masterstroke, see the signing and sale of the winger the first time around, the arrival and lucrative departure of Matt O'Riley and even the simultaneous Kyogo deal - which will see Celtic profit around £5m. There are, though, a couple of caveats to Jota's return to Glasgow.
Jota reckons he’s back home after clinching his Celtic return on a bumper five-and-a-half year contract. And Celtic fans hope he’ll soon be joined by another former member of the Hoops ‘family’ with Kieran Tierney’s Arsenal exit edging closer.
Kieran Tierney is another one the fans are desperate to get over the line. Pre-contract talks are down the line over a sensational return to the club from Arsenal. The Gunners have already confirmed they won't be extending his contract that expires in the summer.

Jota was back at Lennoxtown today as he and his Celtic teammates trained before heading down to Birmingham for tomorrow's Champions League tie against Aston Villa. However, there was no sign of Cameron Carter-Vickers as Brendan Rodgers' side were put through their paces in the winter sun.

Jota will reportedly sign a long-term contract with Celtic . The Portuguese winger, 25, is expected to finalise a transfer return in the coming days after arriving in Glasgow on Saturday . Jota had been set to fly into Scotland on Thursday but his journey was delayed due to Storm Eowyn .
Kyogo Furuhashi has left Celtic for Rennes, but who will replace the striker up front as Jota returns to the Scottish champions from the French club?
While it is certainly an emotional reunion for Celtic supporters, reuniting with the man behind the viral 'Jota on the wing' song, the Hoops will be saddened to say goodbye to fan-favourite striker Kyogo Furuhashi.
Brendan Rodgers confirms that Scotland defender Kieran Tierney will move to Celtic from Arsenal this summer at the latest.
But Bernardo is excited to see Jota return and he labelled the versatile forward as a ‘great player’, as he told Celtic TV in his pre-match press conference for the Villa match.
Celtic fans might expect Jota to make his re-debut for his new team against Motherwell in the Fir Park clash on Sunday, February 2. His first home match since coming back to Scotland will be an ever so slightly longer wait for the fanbase who will get to see their man in action on February 5.
