The attacker has represented Honduras in six matches and marked his debut in a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica in 2021. He is the seventh addition to manager Brendan Rodgers' lineup for this summer, joining Gustaf Lagerbielke, Marco Tilio, Odin Holm, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Hyunjun Yang, and Maik Nawrocki.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his satisfaction with the signing of Luis, stating that the player had several options but ultimately decided to join Celtic, an opportunity that greatly appeals to him.
He is an exceptionally skilled player who enjoys engaging in offensive football, and therefore, we anticipate that he will be an excellent addition to the team.
