CELTIC have confirmed the arrival of Honduran international winger Luis Palma in a £3.5million deal.
And Liverpool central defender Nat Phillips has also arrived in Glasgow to wrap up a one-year loan deal.
The champions also want to add Benfica’s Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo and a new left-back before the window closes at midnight on Friday.
Mail Sport revealed Celtic’s interest last week, with Aris winger Palma now the seventh signing of the summer for Brendan Rodgers, the 23-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.
Capped six times for Honduras, Palma could now be pitched in for a baptism of fire against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday.
‘It is a very special day for me and an honour to be announced as a Celtic player,’ said the new signing. ‘I can’t wait to be part of this great club, a club I know all about as one of the great names in world football.
‘I know that Celtic always aims to play football the right way, a team that entertains and has a pedigree of winning and delivering success, and this is what I want to be part of.
‘I have spoken to the manager and I’m really looking forward to joining him and my team-mates and starting my journey with such a brilliant club.
‘I have already had so many messages of support and I thank all our fans for the welcome I have been given.
‘I can’t wait to play in front of the Celtic supporters and I will do all I can to bring our fans good football and some good moments.’
Celtic are also hopeful of extending the contracts of Israeli winger Liel Abada and Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate. Despite reports of an agreement with Abada, Mail Sport understands one or two hurdles have yet to be overcome. Hatate has put further discussions over his own situation on hold until the window closes.
