Serie A side Como have been one of the stars of the January transfer window, and could target another impressive Spanish talent. Barcelona youngster Alex Valle is the latest on their radar.
With Celtic moving to bring back club hero Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, such a move would open the door for Valle to seek a new loan deal. Fabrizio Romano reports that Cesc Fabregas’ Como have started talks with Barcelona to bring Valle to Serie A. He reports that Como are very interested in Valle and believe in his talent.

Without a doubt, Fábregas will continue to have contacts in Barcelona and will know very well what Valle can contribute. After a mixed loan spell at Levante last season, Valle has made 18 appearances for Celtic this season, 11 of which were starts. During those appearances he has also had an impressive 5 assists and has been battling with Greg Taylor for the starting job in recent weeks.
