Celtic have completed the signing of Luis Palma.
The 23-year-old joins from Aris Thessaloniki in Greece for an undisclosed fee.
The Honduran international, signed as a replacement for Jota, has penned a five-year deal.
Speaking to the official Celtic website about his move Palma said: “I could not be any happier with today’s news.
“It is a very special day for me and an honour to be announced as a Celtic player. I can’t wait to be part of this great club, a club I know all about as one of the great names in world football.
“I know that Celtic always aims to play football the right way, a team that entertains and has a pedigree of winning and delivering success, and this is what I want to be part of.
“I have spoken to the manager and I'm really looking forward to joining him and my team-mates and starting my journey with such a brilliant club.
“I have already had so many messages of support and I thank all our fans for the welcome I have been given.
“I can’t wait to play in front of the Celtic supporters and I will do all I can to bring our fans good football and some good moments.”
Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers added: “We are really pleased to bring Luis to the Club. He is a player who had a lot of options but, of course, we are delighted he has chosen to come to Celtic, an opportunity which really excites him.
“He is a very talented, player who likes to play attacking football so we hope he will be a very good fit for the team.
“Luis has reached a very good level so far, playing a lot of games and achieving international recognition, but I also know that he is ambitious to improve and continue his development with us.
“We look forward to Luis joining up with the squad and to start working with him.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
