Who is Luis Palma? The Celtic transfer target who has started like a house on fire with end product to rival Abada

He was said to be in the sights of Rangers but now Luis Palma might be set for a move to the other side of Glasgow.

And now it is believed that Brendan Rodgers' is keen on him and Celtic have made a £3.5million move to try and land the Honduran international before the end of the transfer window.

Palma played for five years as a senior player at boyhood club Vida in his native Honduras, before a loan switch to Real Monarchs in the third tier of American football pave a road to Aris last summer. He scored 13 times with eight assists last season in just 36 matches, which is particularly impressive when considering his minutes per game ratio.
