Celtic departure confirmed as £3m signing makes loan exit | OneFootball

Celtic midfielder Odin Thiago Holm has been confirmed by LAFC on a deal for the 2025 MLS Season. The 21-year-old has found himself down the pecking order at Celtic Park with Luke McCowan and Arne Engels arriving to limit his opportunities.

Now, Holm will go to Los Angeles in an attempt to reinvigorate his career.

It may not be the best time to go to California but the player will be eager to have a regular run of games, allowing him to show the form which led to Celtic signing him in Brendan’s first summer. Holm was one of Celtic’s first signings that summer and it was considered that the £3m outlay was ‘one for the future’ rather than a deal that Rodgers had sanctioned himself.

The Norwegian youngster signed from Valerenga in the summer of 2023 in a deal that was seen as being one for the future. The 21-year-old has made 16 appearances for Celtic, making one assist and scoring once; however, his sending off against Feyenoord last year appeared to result in game time drying up for the player.

Rodgers commented that the player was talented but he had to do more with it and work harder at training. The manager showed the same tact with Bosun Lawal, before sanctioning a £3m move to Stoke City.

The move will hopefully result in the talented youngster gaining regular first team football in the States.
