Luis Palma got himself on the scoresheet again on Saturday as Lech Poznan picked up a 2-1 win away to Pogon Szczecin, a result that keeps them sitting top of the table as the season moves towards its final run. The Celtic winger, out on loan in Poland, is still playing a big part in a side chasing the title.
The goal adds to a brilliant run of goals and assists. Palma has been involved across all competitions for the Polish side, whether he’s starting wide or drifting inside. In this one, he came in from the left and once again made the difference in the final third.
His role has changed a few times through the season. He’s been used as a number ten at times and also off the left. That flexibility has helped keep him in the team, even when the shape shifts or the game asks for something different.
Earlier in the season, he showed the same in Europe. Goals against Rapid Vienna and Rayo Vallecano, along with assists in the group stage, showed he can produce against different levels. That form has carried into the league.
The win over Pogon wasn’t simple either. Poznan have had to dig in as well as play, and this was one of those games where chances had to be taken when they came.
Away from the pitch, his situation is drawing interest. Sevilla are keeping an eye on him, while Poznan have the option to make the move permanent. That leaves Celtic in a strong position if things move on in the summer.
For now, it’s about what he’s doing each week. Palma is playing, scoring, and doing it in games that matter. That’s shaping what comes next.
