Celtic are closing in on the imminent signing of Lanus left-back Alexandro Bernabei, reliable journalist Mark Hendry reports.

The Lowdown: Ange looking for depth

Ange Postecoglou has a good squad at his disposal currently but there is still a lack of depth in certain areas, away from a strong starting lineup.

With Champions League football returning to Parkhead next season, it is vital that Celtic bring in a number of new faces and improve the depth to be able to fight on four fronts, especially with stars like Tom Rogic moving on.

Defence is one area that needs reinforcements and it looks as though a new signing is close.

The Latest: Hoops close in on Bernbei

Taking to Twitter, and writing for Football Scotland, Hendry confirmed that Celtic are closing in on Lanus man Bernabei:

"EXCLUSIVE! Celtic close in on Lanus’ Alexandro Bernabei."

Sharing more details in his article, the reporter says the deal is 'close' and the player could even arrive in Glasgow in the next few days.

The Verdict: Good competition for Taylor

This could be a really shrewd signing by the Hoops, providing Greg Taylor with some strong competition ahead of what could be a busy 2022/23 campaign.

Bernabei is an Argentina Under-23 international - he is still only 21 - and his current deal expires next summer, meaning Lanus need to sell and won't be able to demand a huge fee.

He has four goals and ten assists to his name in 84 appearances for the Argentine side, showing that he could bring some attacking thrust from left-back, too, where he will likely replace Boli Bolingoli in the squad.
