Jota back at Celtic for silver NOT gold as one of the 'last romantics' shuts down hunger myth

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Jota insists a year coining in Saudi Premier League megabucks has not robbed him of a hunger to keep lifting silverware with Celtic.The winger completed his sensational £8.5m move back to Celtic from Rennes just 18 months after leaving Glasgow in a £25m deal to join Al-Ittihad.

Jota picked up an eye-watering £190,000-a-week in the Middle East despite being frozen out of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad early on due to limits on the number of foreign players.

But the Portuguese insists he’s “one of the last romantics” and the currency he puts above everything else is happiness on the football pitch.Jota's return softens the blow of Kyogo heading in the opposite direction to the Ligue 1 club for £10m.

But when it was suggested his spell in the cash-swamped Saudi top tier might have diluted his hunger, the 25-year-old said: “Maybe I’m one of the last romantics of the game and I enjoy the game so much and I’m so obsessed with it and try to do different stuff, things that people will happily live to admire.“I believe that what you said is true.
