Odin Thiago Holm, the Norwegian dynamo born on the 18th of January 2003, is a current member of Celtic's illustrious squad and is plying his trade adeptly amidst the Scottish Premiership. Occupying the centre of the pitch, Holm's primary domain is the heart of midfield, though he is versatile enough to serve in multiple capacities as required. Standing at a tidy 5 feet 9 inches (1.76m), he is not the tallest of footballers but what Holm lacks in height, he compensates with his tenacity and compact frame. He tips the scales at approximately 11 stones (70kg). While in Celtic's iconic Parkhead stadium, keep an eye out for Celtic's number 15 - Holm's chosen jersey throughout his tenure.
The current going price for such midfield talents such as Holm would hover around the €2.00 million mark, or roughly £1.7 million according to Transfermarkt. As it stands, Celtic fans can expect to see Holm gracing their green and white pitches for the foreseeable future. His contract with the club maintains its validity for an additional 3 years and 5 months, expected to conclude only by the end of May 2028.
Prior to his arrival on Celtic shores, Holm began his professional journey at Ranheim, based in Norway. Not much is known of the exact transfer sum when he moved to Valerenga in 2019, however, Holm's progress on the Norwegian stage was impressive. His appearances, first being just one in his debut season, began to increase year on year - 16 appearances in 2020, 19 in 2021, reaching a peak of 22 come 2022. In his final year at Valerenga, Holm contributed a total of ten appearances to Valerenga's cause.
In July 2023, Holm was snapped up by the Hoops. A price tag of approximately £2.6 million was enough for Celtic to secure the services of this promising young midfielder. Despite the initial adaptation period, Holm has since solidified his position within the squad, earning nine first-team appearances in his debut season (2023-2024) and so far in the current one (2024-2025), he has already featured in three matches.
It's worth noting that Holm also had the privilege of testing his mettle in the grand stage of European football - the Champions League. During 2023-2024, he made two substitute appearances for Celtic, a testament to his potential and the trust the club has placed into him. His journey at Celtic carries on, and undoubtedly, the faithful Celtic support eagerly anticipates what comes next for their number 15.
