Celtic look set to offload forgotten midfielder Odin Thiago Holm this winter as the young midfielder targets first team football. Holm was not included in the Celtic UEFA Champions League squad then was omitted from the squad photo, which highlighted his place in the pecking order under Brendan.
Now, as reported by Sun Sport, MLS side LAFC are keen on the former £3m talent as they look to get Holm playing regular football. The report says that there is interest from Europe but that the MLS side could be favourites to secure the player’s signature on a temporary deal.

The Norwegian youngster signed from Valerenga last summer 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.
There has been no hint regarding any issues with Holm at Celtic, it had even expected that he would’ve been loaned out if Celtic succeeded in getting Luke McCowan but nothing transpired. It is certainly a strange one as Holm has made three appearances so far this season.
