Benfica share brilliant video of young Jota through the years as he leaves for Celtic

Benfica have released a brilliant video showing Jota down the years. 

The former Champions League mascot never quite made the grade in Lisbon but appears to have found the ideal platform in Celtic Park with Ange Postecoglou. 

A fee of £6.5m with a 30% sell on clause still represents decent business and shows how highly the Benfica Academy is rated.

From an early age the skills that Celtic fans enjoyed last season are evident. The tricks and the confidence that helped drive the hoops to two trophies in the debut season for more than half of the squad and a new management team. 

In the autumn Jota will get the chance to play in the Champions League, after a five year absence Celtic are back in the big time with the fans desperate to see how Angeball gets on against some of the richest and best clubs in the game. With Jota pivotal to how Celtic fare.
