Celtic have signed winger Luis Palma on a five-year deal from Greek side Aris FC, subject to international clearance.
The 23-year-old arrives from the Greek club for a fee of around £3.5m as Celtic look to try and fill the void left by Jota's move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad.
Palma, who scored 13 goals in 36 games for Aris last season, said: «I could not be any happier with [Wednesday's] news. It is a very special day for me and an honour to be announced as a Celtic player. I can't wait to be part of this great club, a club I know all about as one of the great names in world football.
»I know that Celtic always aims to play football the right way, a team that entertains and has a pedigree of winning and delivering success, and this is what I want to be part of.
«I have spoken to the manager and I'm really looking forward to joining him and my team-mates and starting my journey with such a brilliant club.
»I have already had so many messages of support and I thank all our fans for the welcome I have been given.
«I can't wait to play in front of the Celtic supporters and I will do all I can to bring our fans good football and some good moments.»
