    Celtic
    are exploring a move for Argentinian Under-23 international left-back Francisco Ortega.


    In the market for another option at left-back, 23-year-old Velez Sarsfeld defender Ortega has been the subject of positive scouting reports



    Selected for the South American Under-20 Championships he also performed in the Under-20 World Cup, earning a call-up for the Under-23
    Olympic Team

    With Boli Bolingoli likely to leave the club this summer, Ange Postecoglou wants to provide competition for Scotland international Greg Taylor.

    Can beat a man. Does look a bit awkward on the ball at times but again I would fully trust ange and the team.

    Don't care if he can kick a ball, get him signed.

    Looks good , also looks to have a bit of height about him which helps defensively

    Do you think, mate? Looks excellent on the ball to me, quick feet and great in tight spaces, good short passer. Only thing for me is he looks horrendously one footed, which does sometimes make him look a little clumsy in the way he moves.

    Think that's maybe what is making me think that way. Has an awkward way of moving.

    But also looks comfy coming inside the park which is key.

    Looks a good prospect and we really do need competition at left back

    Who on here said we'd be moving for a South American last week?

    Good call whoever it was.
