Celtic have swapped a 'Ferrari with a Lamborghini' in Jota & Kyogo deals

While not a like-for-like replacement, the blow of Kyogo Furuhashi's Celtic exit has been softened by the return of Jota.

"It's like replacing a Ferrari with a Lamborghini", as BBC broadcaster Craig Telfer deftly put it.

Will the Portuguese winger slot seamlessly back into the current Celtic side or will he have to adapt to Brendan Rodgers' style of play? Either way, it's a "good problem" for the manager to have.

The 25-year-old was a fan favourite during his first spell at the club and Telfer, presenter of A View From The Terrace, thinks that is down to the charismatic forward always having a smile on his face when he plays.

"I think Jota is an absolutely smashing signing and Kyogo going out, it's like replacing a Ferrari with a Lamborghini. It's an absolutely phenomenal signing," he told the Scottish Football Podcast.

"Jota, certainly in the last 18 months or so since leaving Celtic, has been a bit in the wilderness, I don't think his move to Saudi Arabia worked out and his move to Rennes certainly didn't work out.

"But he was a phenomenal player when playing for Celtic, the kind of player that fans like to watch, the sort of player that will take you to the edge of your seat. What I liked most about Jota, he really looked like he was enjoying himself as well.

"I think the only issue that Celtic really have is where do you play him? Because you've got obviously [Daizen] Maeda on one side of the attacking three, Nicholas Kuhn on the other, guys who are both very, very good.

"And it's where he fits into this, but it's a very, very good problem for Rodgers to have."
