Celtic star seen at airport ahead of sealing transfer exit
Palma had interest from the English Championship, Turkish Super League and MLS but has opted for the Ekstraklasa as his next destination. He has been out of favour with Brendan Rodgers and the Northern Irishman admitted he was likely to go out on loan again.
The 25-year-old has now been pictured landing in Poland to seal his move.
A video taken by journalist Dawid Dobrasz at the airport shows him arriving and is captioned: "Luis Palma arrived in Poznan."

He said: "I am very happy with the move. I'm delighted to be joining my new club and it was all done very quickly.
"I spoke with Celtic and it was my decision to look elsewhere.

"I don't know too much about the Polish League, except that it's a good league, with big stadiums and big clubs.
"I am going to learn a lot about football there. My goal is to play as much as possible and make a good impression.
"I spoke to Reinaldo Rueda about the move, but I did so more as a friend."

Steven Gunn reveals reasons Aberdeen youngster Cammy Wilson has been sold to English Championship club
Aberdeen director of football Steven Gunn says youngster Cammy Wilson was sold to Derby County as the Dons could not 'promise him' a 'pathway to first-team football and the security of a long-term contract'. Winger Wilson, 18 – one of the club's CAS Under-18s Elite league winners two seasons ago – has joined the English Championship outfit having also spent time on trial with Swansea City while on loan at Highland League Keith last term. The Kintore native had been in the Aberdeen youth academy from the age of nine and was contracted to Pittodrie until next summer. But a Dons statement read: 'Despite the club's commitment to nurturing young talent, the decision to allow Cammy to move south was made with the player's long-term career aspirations in mind.' Gunn said: 'Cammy is a committed and talented young player and we understand his desire to have a pathway to first-team football and the security of a long-term contract, something which we weren't able to promise him at this stage. 'We have negotiated an agreement with Derby that provides future protection for the club, and we wish Cammy all the best in his future career.' Aberdeen recently revamped their approach to youth development to coincide with the new SFA CAS leagues at U17 and U19 levels. While they will take part in the U17s league, the Dons have not entered a side in the U19 division, instead prioritising exposure to senior football with loans and in Aberdeen B matches in the likes of the Evolution Trophy (formerly known as the SPFL Trust Trophy) for their young players. They are also putting additional focus on starlets in 16/17-year-old age bracket, while taking more of a 'quality over quantity' approach with older players in the 'transition' phase between youth and first-team football. Meanwhile, Dons youngsters Sam McLean, Tristan Stephen and Oliver Green have all joined Highland League side Lossiemouth on loan until the end of the season.

I hired psychologist to help me at Celtic - it changed my life
The Honduran winger has been sent on loan to Poland with Lech Poznan and has already made his debut for his new club. Despite starting well after signing for Celtic, his form dipped and he was shipped out on loan last season as well to Olympiacos in Greece, but failed to make an impact there either. And Palma, in an interview in Poland, revealed he had to sort out issues on and off the pitch. He said: "I clearly made mistakes as a person, as a footballer, but I've always said I'm a human being before I'm a player. Read more: "So you have to know how to handle things at home before anything else. "I hired a psychologist and I am continuing my appointments with him. He's helped me a lot in the last three years, which have changed my life. "I worked on knowing how to handle pressure and fame with a psychologist. It's very important in life to have someone like this to talk to about problems at home and in football. "People always see a happy face, but no one knows what's going on behind your back. "There may be problems, any number of things, but they only see the reflection of a footballer and they kill you when you don't score a goal, miss a pass, or don't play well."
