Former Celtic star Kenny Dalglish is backing Alexandro Bernabei to be a Parkhead smash hit after securing his £3.5m switch form Lanus.
The Scottish football icon concedes every transfer comes with a risk factor, however, the 71-year-old has been blown away by manager Ange Postecoglou's uncanny knack to strike gold in the signing market. And he believes the 21-year-old left-back fits the profile under the Australian. Celtic's Premiership title win was forged upon the players Postecoglou identified in the transfer window - with Kyogo, Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers turning heads, as well as Joe Hart, Josip Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis.
And Dalglish is convinced healthy competition at left back with Greg Taylor will only enhance Celtic ahead of their return to the Champions League. Speaking to the Sunday Post. he said: "The fans all wanted Jota to commit his long-term future to their club, and he duly obliged with his £6.5 million transfer from Benfica. After his loan spell last season, everybody is aware of what he is capable of. The Portuguese is a match winner and an entertainer.
