The Honduran international has sealed a move to Parkhead to become the champions' seventh summer signing as Brendan Rodgers ramps ip his transfer business with the deadline fast approaching. He makes a £3.5million move to Celtic from Greek Super League side Aris despite being touted with moves to clubs across Europe this summer - including a switch to Scottish Premiership rivals Rangers.
And the arrival has admitted that he was aware of an interest from Michael Beale's men as he made his decision on the next step in his career - but claims he only wanted to join the Hoops when he heard of the Scottish champions approach. Speaking at his first press conference as a Celtic player, he said: "My agent told me there was contact with Rangers, but when I knew of Celtic’s interest, I was only decided on one team and I wanted to come here.
