Celtic’s first signing under Brendan Rodgers Odin Thiago Holm has taken to Instagram to react to his move to the Scottish Champions. The 20-year-old was nominated on the 100-man longlist for the best players in European football under the age of 21.
Now, Holm will look to take his career to the next stage after putting pen to paper on a five-year deal with Celtic. The central-midfielder joins from Eliteserien club Valerenga, where he scored 13 times and assisting 5 times in 91 appearances.
Rodgers met Holm earlier this week and will be looking forward to working with the youngster, who adds competition to Celtic’s midfield.
Meanwhile, Rodgers gave his first interview since being re-appointed as Celtic manager earlier this week. The Irishman was delighted at the signing of Holm as well as the wider recruitment model that has been imposed by the club under Michael Nicolson and Mark Lawwell’s watch.
It is clear that the recruitment team has been continuing to identify and appraise potential new targets to bring them to the club, fitting into the profile of players that can succeed at the club.
