Alexandro Bernabei says his objective at Celtic is to become a 'champion' as he opened up on his first chat with Ange Postecoglou.
The young full-back will become the first ever player from Argentina to wear the Hoops jersey when he makes his debut after putting pen to paper on a five-year deal following his switch from Lanus. His former club confirmed his transfer to Scotland as we told you earlier today and the Scottish Champions have now made things official on their end.
Bernabei becomes the latest summer addition to arrive at Parkhead alongside the likes of Benjamin Siegrist and Cameron Carter-Vickers as he looks to compete with Greg Taylor for the starting slot at left-back.
It's a massive season for Celtic as they bid to retain the Premiership crown they won from Rangers while make a splash in the Champions League, a competition the 21-year-old can't wait to star in.
