Odin Thiago Holm given Celtic transfer seal of approval as he earns Arsenal superstar Martin Odegaard comparison

Harald Brattbakk reckons £2.5 million-rated Odin Thiago Holm has the same potential as Norway superstar Martin Odegaard.

The Valerenga midfielder is understood to be on the radar of Celtic. Sources in Norway insist the Parkhead club are keen on the 20-year-old who was subject of a rejected £2.2 million offer from Danes FC Copenhagen during the last transfer window. Brattbakk knows the youngster well as they are both from the town of Trondheim and he has closely followed his career. The former Celtic striker believes Holm has the talent to succeed in Scotland with talk of a big move to Europe having been on the cards for a period of time.

Brattbakk explained: “Yes he is discussed every year. He was only 17 when he left and has been three years at Valerenga. The manager wanted to play him young, so he’s got quite a few games at a high level. You can see that he has got potential. With the likes of him compared to say a Martin Odegaard, maybe he has the same potential, but Odegaard got the potential out when he was 15.
