Chris Sutton comments on Celtic new signing Jota

Former Celtic striker turned popular football pundit, Chris Sutton, has suggested that Jota could be an “exciting prospect” for the Bhoys.

The Hoops signed the 22-year-old winger on loan from Benfica and they will have the option to buy him permanently next summer for a fee of around £6million.

Celtic finished 25 points behind Rangers last season and they have a tough job at hand to close the gap with their Scottish Premiership champions.

Jota is one player who could excite the fan base. Celtic lost key players in the form of Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie, and Kristoffer Ajer this summer, but Sutton feels that new arrivals can lift the team.
