Loan watch: Alex Valle making waves at Celtic after Barcelona move

Alex Valle was tipped to be part of the Barcelona first team this season but ended up securing a season-long loan move to Celtic instead.

He did extend his contract until 2026 before he went, suggesting there could well be a future for him still at Barcelona when he returns.

Valle has gone on to enjoy game time with Celtic and is clearly loving life in Glasgow under Brendan Rodgers.

The full-back impressed on his first ever Champions League start against Atalanta last week, as Celtic drew 0-0 with the Europa League winners, and will hope for more European outings with RB Leipzig and Dinamo Zagreb still to come.
