Squad player Luis Palma has recently expressed his commitment to staying with Celtic until the end of the season, despite facing criticism from fans for his social media activity following a lackluster performance against Falkirk. The 24-year-old winger, who has struggled to secure regular playing time this season and was even left out of the matchday squad for Celtic’s dominant victory over St Johnstone, is determined to work hard and prove himself to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Palma, who is reportedly taking a break from social media to focus on improving his game, recently had discussions with Rodgers about his future at the club. Despite potential interest from other clubs and talks of a transfer in January, Palma has decided to stick it out at Celtic and repay the faith shown in him by his coach. This decision comes amidst rumors of the club eyeing potential replacements, including Royal Antwerp’s Michel-Ange Balikwisha.
In addition to Palma’s commitment, Celtic is reportedly showing strong interest in 18-year-old striker Bazoumana Toure, who has caught the attention of top clubs such as Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayer Leverkusen. Despite the competition, Celtic appears to be leading the race for Toure’s signature, with the youngster hinting at a potential move by stating, “Anything can happen in football.” This leaves the door open for a potential deal as Toure maintains his focus on his current club while exploring future opportunities.
