Andy Halliday can't quite believe Jota is back in Glasgow for a snip of the fee they got for him just a year and a half ago

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?

Jota returns for a reported fee of £9m and has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Scottish champions. During his first spell at the club, the 25-year-old won every domestic honour available to him and scored 28 goals and provided 26 assists. He is being tipped to wear the number 23 jersey on his return.

The 25-year-old Portuguese winger has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract as former Celtic team-mate Kyogo Furuhashi moved in the opposite direction to the Ligue 1 strugglers.

Celtic have reportedly had a bid rejected for Norwegian winger Sondre Orjasaeter. The 21-year-old made 30 appearances for Sarpsborg 08 in 2024, in which he scored six goals and assisted five as the club finished 12th in the Eliteserien.

Celtic have secured Jota on a five-and-a-half-year contract after the Portuguese winger swapped places with Kyogo Furuhashi. The 25-year-old has completed his move from Rennes 18 months after leaving Celtic in a reported £25million move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
