Celtic are one of ten teams understood to be chasing Barcelona starlet Alex Collado.

The 21-year-old is allowed to leave the Nou Camp with new manager Ronald Koeman keen to re-shape the Barca squad.

According to the Daily Mail, Celtic along with three clubs from Spain, Italy and Germany are all on alert. Those interested are Celta Vigo, Real Sociedad and Villarreal, Genoa, Torino and Sassuolo, Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen.

The Barcelona website describes Collado, who has played for the club since 11, as a “left-footed midfielder with Barça DNA. He has excellent vision and is a superb reader of the game. Very good at selecting the right option when passing, he’s also very skillful when attacking, has a great shot and is difficult to beat in one on one situations”.

Able to play on either wing, Collado featured once for the first-team last season and was on the bench on numerous occasions.

He was a regular for the club’s B side but missed out on the promotion play-offs after suffering a stress fracture of the second metatarsal which he is still recovering from.

During the season in the Segunda Divsion B he contributed five goals and five assists.

There are 12 days left of the transfer window in Scotland with Celtic possibly looking to add a left-back and another wide attacking option before it shuts as they look to secure 10 in a row.
