The very latest Celtic transfer news this Friday morning as we deliver you updates on Luis Palma, Shin Yamada, Kwon Hyeok-kyu & Yang Hyun-jun.
Luis Palma to Lech Poznan
Celtic outcast Luis Palma is on the verge of a season-long loan move to Lech Poznan this summer.
Palma isn’t fancied by Brendan Rodgers and the plan was always for the Honduran winger to exit the club in some capacity.
He wasn’t included in Celtic’s Portugal training camp squad due to participation in the CONCACAF Gold Cup with his national team.
Journalist Sebastian Staszewski posted on X: “Luis Palma is close to joining Lech Poznan. The Celtic winger could move to Poznań on a one-year loan.
“Talks are ongoing. If it goes through, it’ll be a big deal, as Palma is a top-tier player.”
Shin Yamada’s aims ahead of Celtic move
Incoming Celtic striker Shin Yamada wants to play for Japan at the World Cup as a Celtic player, and he also wants to improve his goal record.
Yamada said: “My ultimate ambition is to play for Japan at the World Cup next year and help us win the trophy. I thought my best chance of having an opportunity of doing that would be to transfer overseas.
“I made my debut for Japan recently and now I am aiming for further growth in my career in my new environment.
“I understand I need to improve my overall game at my new club. I don’t want to set a target for how many goals I will score, but I know I need to score more goals.”
Brendan Rodgers on Kwon and Yang
Celtic boss Rodgers has confirmed that Kwon will be moved out of the club this summer with FK Austria Wien circling.
Meanwhile, the Hoops manager appeared to suggest he wants to keep Yang Hyun-jun amid interest from Norwich City.
Rodgers said: “Kwon is in a difficult position with the competition there so he’s obviously looking for a club.
“There’s been a little bit of interest in Yang but he’s been a good squad player for us.”
