Despite being at a “delicate moment” at Celtic, fringe player Luis Palma has been informed he does not need to be concerned about his future.
The 24-year-old is struggling to make an impact in his second season at Celtic Park, although he did make his first game in over a month, coming off the bench during the Champions League draw with Atalanta. Former Honduras international David Suazo has disclosed that he spoke with the winger and urged him that as long as he was “happy and committed” to the club, he should not consider a January move, despite playing few minutes for the Scottish Premiership champions this season.
Offering an inside look into Palma’s mindset, he told Telivicentro: “Actually, the talk with Luis was more about pleasure, advice, because there are situations that some players would like to receive, he comes from Scotland to Italy, a country where I live, I am close, and we were able to talk to him.” These are the items that come in handy when you are overseas, when someone you know pays you a visit during a difficult period. are the things that come in handy when you’re overseas, such as having someone you know pay you a visit amid difficult circumstances.
“When I spoke with him, I urged him not to worry; we all go through terrible times. I even told him an incident from my time at Cagliari, when I went four months without scoring a goal, and how the most difficult aspects of sport help you improve.
“Thank God he had minutes because the delicate moment he is living with Celtic, these minutes add up, they make you see that he is improving and I felt happy and committed, and those are the things, the visits of a friend, of a compatriot helps you.”
Palma’s position could reignite Celtic’s interest in Brondby attacker Mathias Kvistgaarden. The 22-year-old has been on Parkhead’s radar in recent windows and can play on the left side or lead the frontline.
He is due to make his 100th appearance for the club against FC Copenhagen on Sunday, and the forward has left the door open for a Superliga exit, with the Hoops and Werder Bremen reported as interested parties in recent windows.
He told Ekstra Bladet, “No, I’m not sure if I expected that (100 appearances). There is a long way to go in a league like the Superliga, which has fewer matches.
“That’s why I think it’s even more incredible that I’ve reached that milestone. It’s exciting to think that I’ve now played over 100 games. I’m not sure what to expect next or in the future. There are rumours, but I can’t do anything about them.
According to speculations in Sweden, Hammarby forward Bazoumana Toure could go to Glasgow’s east end. The 18-year-old has reportedly been scouted by the Hoops, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayer Leverkusen in recent months.
