Celtic have signed Bournemouth defender Julian Araujo on loan for the rest of the season. The Mexican, who can operate at full-back and wing-back, becomes Wilfried Nancy's first signing for Celtic and is likely to feature on the right side of the new manager's preferred 3-4-3 formation. The most recent of the 24-year-old's 14 Bournemouth appearances came in an EFL Cup loss to Brentford in August, with Araujo sent off for a second booking. He previously played for LA Galaxy and Las Palmas, the latter on loan from Barcelona. "This is a top club and I can't wait to get going and work hard with the other players to bring our fans success," Araujo told Celtic media.
