Laxalt looks to have the potential to be an incredibly exciting signing for the Bhoys. The 27-year-old made 20 Serie A appearances last season.

But interestingly, the report adds that Celtic and Milan – who have been drawn in the same Europa League group – are still discussing whether the deal will include an option to buy.

It would be a big boost for Celtic to leave themselves in a position to sign Laxalt permanently.

They have made a number of superb loan signings in recent years and they will be hoping he can become the latest.

They have been unable to keep the likes of Fraser Forster and Filip Benkovic in the past.

But it appears that they are working to ensure that the door is open for Laxalt’s stay to be extended beyond this season.
