Celtic could face stiff transfer competition to land winger Luis Palma, according to reports.

The Parkhead club have been credited with an interest in the talented Honduran 23-year-old.

And it has even been claimed a move for Palma has been launched by Celtic chiefs.

However, interest in the Aris Thessaloniki winger is thought to be high with clubs around Europe and Saudi Arabia linked.

And Greek outlet Sportime reports that Palma's club Aris are willing to sell the winger - should their price tag be met.

It's thought it would take a bid of €5million to tempt the Greek side to sell.

The report goes on to state the figure has not yet been met by clubs from Turkey, Belgium, Greece, England or Scotland.

It is, however, reported that a Saudi club has kick-started official interest in Palma over a lucrative switch to the Middle East.

The player is thought to be keen on a transfer move to a "more advanced foreign league" but could be swayed by a huge pay packet in Saudi.

The reported Celtic interest comes after Brendan Rodgers confirmed he is still keen to bring more players to the club before the summer transfer window ends.

Speaking after the Viaplay Cup loss to Kilmarnock, he said: “We want good players, whatever age they are. We need quality, that’s for sure. Hopefully between now and the end of the window we can improve the squad. 

 “Clearly the model of the club is to bring the players in at a younger age and develop them and improve them. But we are not against bringing in someone at 26 or 27 if they can improve the squad.

“When I look at the team, it’s that match-winning ability that we maybe need to have more of within the squad.”
