Kouassi Eboue admits he struggled at Celtic in his first few weeks, but now wants more game time.
Kouassi Eboue has admitted to Celtic’s official website that he found it difficult to settle in at Parkhead initially.
Kouassi moved to Celtic from FC Krasnodar during the January transfer window.
The Ivorian has only been given limited game time so far, with Brendan Rodgers showing caution over using the midfielder.
And Kouassi admits that he is starting to feel settled with the Bhoys now, after a difficult start.
“I’m settling in well and I’m happy because now I have played some games and had some more time on the pitch,” he said. “Initially it was difficult, but now I feel better and more comfortable playing in the team.”
Kouassi has made four appearances for Celtic so far, and is expected to be handed more opportunities between now and the end of the season.
Celtic have already won the Scottish Premiership, which means act the pressure on the team has been relieved.
The Bhoys do head into two games against Rangers in their next two matches, though, and it would be a major surprise of Kouassi was involved.
However, the 19-year-old claims that he feels ready to perform, if Rodgers does give him the nod.
“I feel ready to start games,” Kouassi said. “I have worked for this but it all depends on the gaffer and I will wait until he gives me my chance and then I will play.”
