Odin Holm was the first signing under the returning Brendan Rodgers. He’d actually been monitored by Celtic prior to Brendan Rodgers arrival, and the young player was seen as a good prospect for an ambitious Celtic. Scotland had just beaten Norway (led by Man City’s incredible striker Haarland) the weekend before his signing, although Holm had still to win his first cap to this point so wasn’t playing in that match.

Quotes
“I talked to the people knowing him best. This is what they said:
“Despite his young age (20), he demonstrates exceptional insight and maturity in the game. He possesses a remarkable level of skill with various types of play.
“He thrives in a deep role, but he has also shown progress as a one-on-one offensive player and has become increasingly adept at bypassing opponents with his improved passing abilities.
“Areas for his development include improving his agility and speed on the field, as well as enhancing his ability to win the ball in tight matches. While he relies heavily on his ability to read plays and anticipate ball movement, he could benefit from strengthening his physical presence in close encounters.
“Moreover, he is a pleasant individual who may come across as slightly sarcastic when interacting with others. However, he is genuinely calm and intelligent”

“I have spent time already with Odin, he is an ambitious, exciting young player and I know he is delighted to be joining us.”
