Celtic have confirmed the arrival of Honduras international winger Luis Palma in a £3.
5m deal.
And Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips has also arrived in Glasgow on a one-year loan deal.
The champions are expected to add Benfica Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo and a new left-back before the transfer market closes at midnight on Friday.
As Mail Sport revealed last week, the Aris Palma winger is Brendan Rodgers’ seventh signing of the summer, with the 23-year-old signing a five-year contract.
Making six appearances for Honduras, Palma can now prepare for a game against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunda
He say:
“This is a very special day for me and it is an honor to be announced as a Celtic player.
I can’t wait to be a part of this great club, a club that I know is one of the great names in world football.
“I know Celtic have always been about the right way of playing football, a team that is entertaining and has a tradition of winning and being successful, and that’s what I want to be a part of.
“I’ve spoken to the coach and I’m really looking forward to joining him and my teammates and starting my adventure with such a great club.
“I have received a lot of messages of support and I thank all the fans for the welcome they have given me.
“I can’t wait to play in front of the Celtic fans and will do everything I can to give the fans beautiful football and a good time.
Wanting to add quality to the squad after being knocked out of the Viaplay Cup at Kilmarnock and losing Championship points to St Johnstone last weekend, Brendan Rodgers was determined to sign former United Rangers target Palma following Brondby’s sacking.

“He is a player with a lot of options but of course we are happy that he chose to go to Celtic, an opportunity that he is really excited about.
“He is a very talented player and loves to play attacking football, so we hope he will be the perfect choice for the team.
