Luis Palma was born in La Ceiba, Honduras, on 17 January 2000 (age 26), and developed as a left-sided attacker with Vida. His best league return came there in 2020-21, when he scored 13 goals in 26 appearances, the kind of season that tends to move a player out of the local conversation and into a wider market.
Aris FC was the next step before Celtic brought him to Glasgow in August 2023 for around £3.5m. Palma arrived as a winger with goals in his record rather than just promise, though Celtic is not a place short of wide players or opinions on them. There was transfer speculation around him in January 2025, with Lech Poznan named, but his Celtic spell ultimately ended in July 2026 when he moved to Lech for around £3.5m.
At Lech Poznan, Palma has remained a regular first-team presence. Wearing number seven, he has made 30 Ekstraklasa appearances in 2025-26, scoring 10 times, and has 42 appearances and 12 goals in all competitions, including Conference League and domestic cup football. His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Palma’s career has moved from Vida to Aris, on to Celtic, and then to Lech Poznan, with enough end product to keep him relevant rather than merely well-travelled. He remains an established professional for club and country, still operating mainly from the left wing.
