The 23-year-old joined Celtic in 2023 from the Oslo club in a deal worth around £2.6 million. At the time, he arrived with a strong reputation, having already built a solid run of games in the Norwegian top flight.
His time in Glasgow has not quite developed as expected. Minutes have been limited, and a consistent run in the side has been hard to find. A loan move to Los Angeles FC earlier this year was meant to offer that opportunity, but game time there was also restricted.
Now, a return to familiar surroundings appears to be the next step. Vålerenga have been in talks with Celtic and, as it stands, there reportedly is a verbal agreement in place between the clubs for a loan deal. There is no option to buy included at this stage, with the move viewed as a straight loan.
Holm is expected to travel to Oslo to complete the move, with both sides working against the clock ahead of the transfer deadline. The deal still needs to be finalised, but there is confidence it will be completed in time.
