Odin Holm Set to Rejoin Vålerenga on Loan Before Norway Deadline

The loan would give him a full season in Norway to gauge his fitness, clarifying his Celtic future.

Overview

  • Norwegian outlet TV2, cited by UK reports, says a verbal agreement is in place for the Celtic midfielder to return to Vålerenga on loan, with completion expected before Norway’s window closes Tuesday.
  • The temporary move is reported to run for the rest of the Norwegian season, which finishes in December, offering consistent minutes that have been scarce in Glasgow.
  • Holm joined Celtic from Vålerenga in 2023 on a five‑year deal worth about £2.6 million but has featured only 16 times, recording one goal and one assist.
  • He spent 2025 on loan at MLS side LAFC and struggled to make an impact before returning to Celtic in December, raising fresh questions about his next steps.
  • The 23‑year‑old has spoken about a calf syndrome that leaves him feeling “half paralysed” when running; he tried Botox injections in Wyoming to ease nerve and blood vessel pressure, but said the relief was temporary.
