CELTIC have confirmed the signing of AC Milan wing-back Diego Laxalt on a one-year loan.
The Uruguay internationalist is Neil Lennon's sixth summer signing after permanent deals were concluded for Albian Ajeti, David Turnbull and Vasilis Barkas, while Shane Duffy and Moi Elyounoussi joined on loan from Brighton and Southampton respectively.
The 27-year-old spent the first half of last season on loan at Bologna and made six appearances for the Rossoneri after returning to Milan, most of them via the substitute's bench.
There will be one familiar face in the Parkhead dressing room for Laxalt, who played alongside Olivier Ntcham at Genoa while the French midfielder was on loan at the Serie A club from Manchester City.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
