They completed their third swoop of the summer by landing Celtic winger Jota for a club-record £25million fee. The Portuguese star signed a three-year deal worth £200,000-a-week after spending the past two seasons at Celtic Park. But with clubs finding weird and wonderful ways to announce new signings, Al Ittihad may just have taken things to a whole new level. The club announced Jota’s arrival on Monday with a haunting two-minute video-game-like clip featuring manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The digitised Portuguese boss is sitting at home watching Jota score a goal for Celtic before putting on a suit, getting in his car and driving to a shop. After arriving at the shop, he is dealt a pack of cards featuring Celtic players and opts for the card with Jota on it. He takes the card and places it in a new pack alongside recent signings Benzema and Kante before uttering: “We want to rule the world.” Boss Nuno Espirito Santo appeared in the game-like video announcementThe Portuguese picks out Jota’s card from the hand dealt to himThe right choice for the right place #JotaIsYellowpic.twitter.com/FMduUvLXD4— Ittihad Club (@ittihad_en) July 3, 2023 The bizarre video has racked up over 3 million views on Twitter and fans have been quick to have their say on it. One fan wrote: “What the hell did we just watch?” A second added: “This is single handedly the most terrifying new signing video I’ve ever seen.” Another joked: “Looks like a good horror movie. When’s it out?” A fan tweeted: “Pure weird announcement.” Another wrote: “Babe wake up the most unhinged new signing announcement video of all time just dropped.” Jota becomes the second most expensive signing in Saudi Pro League history following Ruben Neves’ £47m switch from Wolves to Al Hilal last month.
