Celtic have signed Argentinian left-back Alexandro Bernabei on a five-year contract.

The 21-year-old moves to the Scottish champions from Lanus in his homeland's top division for £3.75m.

Bernabei will become the first player from Argentina to play for Celtic.

"I'm very happy to be here and I feel grateful to the club for giving me this opportunity," he told Celtic TV.

"I feel proud to be playing in Europe because it was one of my dreams and I'm excited to train with and play with my new team-mates.

"The stadium is just incredible. The people, the club, team-mates, and the coaching staff are all incredible.

"I'm very excited and happy and I can't wait to be playing in the Champions League. I've heard that the people are crazy, so I can't wait to sense that feeling and emotion in Celtic Park."
