£41m Deal: Celtic Signs Liverpool Top Striker Amidst Title Race Battle Against Rangers.

£41m Deal: Celtic Target Liverpool Top Striker Amidst Title Race Battle Against Rangers.

It is no secret why the Celtic target has been called Portugal’s equivalent of Jack Grealish,

with his stylish stubble, grace,

and vision in tow, all tied down by a headband.

But the man himself says there’s another Premier League striker who one of Iberia’s most sought-after

attackers feels a stronger connection with.

“Diogo Jota‘s style reminds me a little bit of myself,” Jota Silva says to The Guardian.

“He is an excellent player.”

Since moving from Wolves to Liverpool four years ago,

Diogo Jota has been an essential part of manager Jurgen Klopp’s team.

HITC Football is aware that several clubs situated on both sides of Hadrian’s

Wall have expressed interest in signing his namesake

, Jota Silva. And should Celtic be Jota Silva’s final destination,

he might have to deal with being compared to not Diogo Jota but Jota Filipe,

the departed winger who, along with Kyogo Furuhashi and Callum McGregor,

was perhaps the primary force behind Ange Postecoglou’s teams winning consecutive Scottish Premiership titles.

 

HITC has been informed that a number of Premier League teams,

including promotion-chasing Leicester City,

are interested in the player in addition to Celtic.

From an outsider’s perspective, Wolves,

who have long been recognized as a reliable springboard for ambitious,

Portuguese-speaking talent, could seem like favorites.

Even though Celtic could find it difficult to compete financially with their southern neighbors,

the chance to sit at the top table of Europe at Parkhead could be enough to persuade the Vitoria Guimaraes ace to follow in Jota Filipe’s

Glaswegian footsteps.

Jota Silva continues, “I want to be the best football player in the world.”

“To compete in the Champions League is my goal.”

Celtic may be doing just that in 2024–2025,

assuming they make it through the testing qualification phase.0

And while Brendan Rodgers’ apparent “stockpiling” of wide forwards during his two stints as manager have frequently been questioned,

Jota Silva, who is versatile and able to play all across the frontline,

may still have a spot at Parkhead given the departure of Liel Abada to the MLS and James Forrest’s aging limbs.

Jota Silva, who splits his time between runs on the right and life on the left,

has 13 goals and seven assists for Vitoria this season.

In the Guimaraes home stadium on Thursday,

Portugal’s coach Roberto Martinez gave Jota his first cap and praised the forward’s “versatility” and individuality.

Rafael Leao, the star player for AC Milan and a teammate from Portugal,

agreed with the former Everton manager that he is an inspiration to late-blooming forwards who choose the hard path to success.

Jota’s former Vitoria coach Joao Aroso tells A Bola,

“In big games, where there may be few opportunities,

it is important to be efficient.” Aroso highlights the skills that might turn a new player into a joker in the Portuguese pack for Martinez’s

squad at Euro 2024.

He is a player who can help define a game with more difficulty and score a goal if given the chance.

Then, his strong mental side may play a significant role.

“In training, he is a really dedicated player. You see in training what you see in the games.

He is devoted to being a top-tier athlete and works hard at it.
