Celtic have made a bright start to their summer transfer window. They have already announced the arrival of Odin Thiago Holm from Valerenga. The Norwegian is a very highly rated talent and has been earning comparisons with Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard, back in his homeland. On the other hand, the Hoops are believed to be closing in on a deal to sign Marco Tilio from Melbourne City FC as well.

Thus, it looks like the club have plans to strengthen the squad further and hand Brendan Rodgers the best chance possible to not only continue their dominance in Scottish football, but to make an impression in Europe as well. Celtic are guaranteed a spot in the Champions League group stages once again next season.

On the other hand, players are heading out of the club as well. And it looks like one of their most highly rated youngsters is set to join a City Football Group team.

As reported by Football Insider, Tsoanelo Letsosa is set to leave the club to join Lommel S.K. on a free transfer. He turned down a new deal to stay on at Parkhead. The Belgian club have moved quickly to agree a deal with the midfielder.

Letsosa was a very highly rated part of Celtic’s youth ranks but he was not able to break into the first-team picture. And now, it looks like he has decided to head out in search of regular minutes and further development.

Lommel S.K. are part of the City Football Group. Thus, it is not hard to see why the chance to play there might interest someone like Letsosa.

Performing for the Belgian club could open up a lot of opportunities in the future for him. When it comes to Celtic, they are losing another brilliant prospect.
