Luis Palma speaks out on Celtic future and reported transfer interest

Luis Palma insists there is a chance he can carve out a future for himself at Celtic.

The winger spent the second part of the season on loan at Olympiacos, winning the Greek title although not playing regularly.

The Super League giants had an option to sign the 25-year-old permanently but had reportedly already informed Hoops chiefs they wouldn't be exercising that.

It's thought to be unlikely Brendan Rodgers is looking to take him back into his first-team fold and there has also been interest from elsewhere - Greek trio Panathinaikos, PAOK and AEK Athens.

Despite starting just two league games, Palma insists he enjoyed his time at Olympiacos. He is now looking forward to returning to Celtic and getting a good pre-season under his belt.

Speaking to media in his homeland of Honduras, he said: "Winning titles is always good. This season has been a great learning experience for me. Now we hope the upcoming preseason will be the best. I have to return to Celtic.

"The experience was very nice, because I'd been there before (after playing for Aris), and being in the biggest team in Greece is very nice."

Asked about interest from other clubs, he added: "I have a contract with Celtic, I can't talk about any other team. From the moment I have a contract, I have a chance of earning a spot."
