The Benfica academy product has responded to transfer talk with action speaking louder than words.
He's been subject to rampant transfer talk - but Jota has responded with his dancing dribbling skills and his first goal for Al-Ittihad since leaving Celtic.
Al Ittihad are believed to have knocked back two loan offers from rival middle-east clubs with a view to getting him out of the club permanently but the Celtic favourite has sent a reminder of his worth. With their clash against Al-Wehda standing at 1-0 to Nuno Espirito Santo's side, the 24-year-old was brought off the bench to make an impact after a Karim Benzema injury in the first half.
Fans have been left amazed by the winger's run and goal. One quoted a song made in the Parkhead stands by saying "Jota on the wing" while another backed up the praise with "I told you, by God, the boy has it."
