Emotional Alexandro Bernabei heads for Celtic transfer as gutted Lanus pals bring the farewell hugs

Emotional Alexandro Bernabei has been mobbed by his Lanus team-mates during his farewell ahead of his imminent £3.75m switch to Celtic

The 21-year-old is heading to Europe to pen a long-term deal with Ange Postecoglou 's Scottish Premiership champions and his telling impact at his current club is certainly visible. Bernabei was swamped by wellwishers as he cleaned out his changing room as cameras captured the emotional scenes.

The Argentina youth international was sent off in his final game for his club but there was no ill will as he was met with kisses and cuddles from those who know him best. And he will now head to Celtic where he will challenge Greg Taylor for the left-back slot ahead of a return to the Champions League. The Hoops' non international stars head back to first team training and Bernabei will likely aim to be making an instant impact.

The Argentine youth international gave the camera a thumbs-up and while he has not officially confirmed the transfer, it looks certain that he will be on his way to Scotland before Celtic start pre-season training early next week.

Tim Vickery to be a hit and he believes the youngster will fit perfectly into the high-energy attacking template Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has created at Parkhead. Vickery said: "He almost plays as a left-winger. He has got that capacity to get into the penalty area and score goals. Nice left foot, good with set pieces, quick and interesting."
