Celtic midfielder Eboue Kouassi is reportedly in demand in the summer transfer window.

Eboue Kouassi of Celtic arrives at the stadium prior to the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on April 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic midfielder Eboue Kouassi could leave in the summer transfer window with a number of clubs interested in him, according to The Scottish Sun.

Clubs in Belgium, France and Germany are interested in signing Kouassi, according to the report, which claims that the 20-year-old midfielder could leave Celtic on loan or on a permanent contract this summer.

Disappointing time at Celtic

Much was expected of Kouassi when he joined Celtic from FC Krasnodar in January 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £3 million.

The 20-year-old, though, failed to make a massive impact at the Hoops, and has made only 17 appearances in all competitions for the Glasgow giants, as stated on their official website.

Departure best?

There is no doubt that Kouassi is a very good midfielder, but the 20-year-old needs playing time in order to progress and develop as a footballer.

It would make sense for the 20-year-old to leave Celtic in the summer transfer window, perhaps on a season-long loan deal.
