Luis Palma was born in La Ceiba, Honduras, on 17 January 2000 (age 26), and came through at Vida before his career began to move beyond Honduras. An early loan spell at Real Monarchs gave him a first taste of football abroad, but his clearest early statement came back at Vida, where he scored 13 league goals in 26 appearances in 2020–21.
That form helped take him to Aris FC, where his left-sided attacking game developed enough to bring Celtic in. He joined Celtic from Aris in August 2023 for around £3.5m and was given the No 7 shirt, which tends to invite more noise than is strictly helpful.
Palma is now on loan at Lech Poznan, where he has remained a regular first-team presence in 2025–26. He has made 30 Ekstraklasa appearances and scored 10 league goals, with further minutes across European qualifiers and the Conference League. Across all competitions for Lech, he has 45 appearances and 12 goals.
He was linked with Lech Poznan in January 2025, a move that fitted the need for regular football. His current market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
Palma’s career has taken him from Vida to Aris, then Celtic, and now to a productive loan spell in Poland. He remains a Celtic player, with his next step likely to depend on whether that Lech form carries back into the picture in Glasgow.
