Luis Palma hunted by La Liga side as clubs queue for transfer deal

Ambitious La Liga side Rayo Vallecano want bit-part Celtic winger Luis Palma on loan.

The Honduran international has been increasingly marginalised by Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers and has started just one league game all season.

He looks certain to be shipped out of Parkhead either on a permanent deal or on loan this month with the transfer window reopening.

Palma has been linked to several clubs in the MLS and to Greek giants Olympiacos.

However, Madrid side Rayo Vallecano are preparing an offer to land Palma on a six-month loan and the player is likely to jump at the chance to move to Spanish football.

Rayo lie in mid-table and are eight points off a European place, which is their target for the season.

And manager Inigo Perez is keen to land the 24-year-old, whose career is stagnating in Glasgow.

Palma made a big impact in his debut season at Celtic and netted ten goals for the club, but he's yet to score at all this season and seems set to move imminently.
