Mohamed Elyounoussi is a player that these Celtic fans are keen on signing permanently from Southampton.
Mohamed Elyounoussi has played well this season despite his recent injury and has proved his worth to these Celtic fans.
The Al-Hoceima born midfielder has only played six Scottish Premiership matches this season but has still managed to score four goals and register two assists.
According to The Telegraph, Elyounoussi is one of four current loanees Southampton are willing to offload in the summer. Which gives Celtic’s chances of permanently signing the 25-year-old a big boost.
The winger has scored in every competition he’s played in for the Hoops this season, scoring in the league, League Cup and UEFA Europa League.
The Norway international has a Transfermarkt value of £10.80m, which wouldn’t be too much if that’s close to his actual transfer fee – especially in today’s market.
Southampton originally purchased Elyounoussi for £16.2m from FC Basel, but after being sent out on loan it’s understandable that the 25-year-old’s value will have dropped a bit.
With his goal contributions, it’s clear to see why these Celtic fans would want to keep the Moroccan born midfielder at the club.
If they were to not sign him and bring in another winger to replace Elyounoussi, there’s no guarentee that they’ll hit the ground running which could be costly to the Hoops’ season.
