    According to Portuguese press, yes. But Benfica and Celtic are yet to publish any announcement.

    Reading the Benfica forums.. as @Luz1904 has suggested, they rate him highly and seem to think 7.5m euros is a very low clause/fee for Jota, but that Celtic is a excellent place to progress his career.

    He wasn't what I expected when I watched his Youtube video. He has a strange style of play. His arms seem to flail about and despite having control of the ball he looks like he's about to go off balance. Even when he kicks it his swing becomes exaggerated.

    I'm not drawing anything from that, just interesting.

    Although it doesn't look the same, it reminds me of the strange style Paddy McCourt had on the ball.

    Been slating the loans but if there's an option to buy I'm liking it.

    Initial impressions....got a trick on him but lacks that burst of pace, looks more like a no: 10 than a winger and If I'm being honest a poor man's Mikey Johnstone :dancing:

    I’m the same, don’t like loans unless there’s an option to buy.

    Looks decent, just needs to find the right place to bring his game to the next level.

    He just looks like a ronaldo-wannabe, I just hope he has an end product and not greedy. Wonder why benfica aren't developing him, unless they have an influx of young ronaldos.

    Really like the look of this guy and only 22. Looks a bit like Christie but actually plays like he's part of a team.

    For me he looks nothing like Christie he looks more like a proper winger who is comfortable with the ball off either foot and can dribble with excellent close control. The later is something Christie has none off but does have a good work rate which I am not sure if Jota does or doesn’t.

    I like the look of Jota but think this is a big risk going into the season with someone who is unproven at senior level. He has unquestionable ability from the videos and think he could turn out a good signing. I would have almost put Jota in as signing a winger who can play off either flank and got a first team left winger in as well.

    I agree in principle, but the difficulty there is Jota wouldn’t be coming here without a clear path to very regular first team football. If he was going to be a squad player or rotational piece, it wouldn’t be an attractive proposition for Benfica.

    That is true, but I do think this season we will have enough games to go around particularly trying to play Ange’s high tempo system. Given how flat we seemed yesterday having a couple of options for each position is going to be vital.

    So what is the story here, is there serious links to this deal? Loan to buy, just a loan?

    Nice!

    I've been very happy that up to now loans haven't been a thing. But is accept 2 at this stage to get bodies in and shore up the squad.
    Loan to buy is always preferred

    This is an excellent deal on paper and exactly how the loan market should be utilised by us.

    Loan to buy is about the only good thing in this deal- we're not stuck with him when he fails.
