Celtic seal signing of Mohamed Elyounoussi | OneFootball

Celtic have completed the signing of Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi on a season-long loan deal.

He is the second player to swap St Mary’s for Parkhead this summer after goalkeeper Fraser Froster also joined for the campaign.

He moves to Glasgow just one year after joining Saints from Basel in a deal that made him the second most expensive player in club history.

The 25-year-old, who is a Norway international, previously represented Sarpsborg, Molde and the Swiss side before joining Southampton.

Elyounoussi was also quick to promise supporters plenty of attacking intent on his behalf for the campaign ahead.

“I can’t wait to get started and pull on the jersey for the first time. It’s an iconic, historic club so it’s a great move for me.

“Obviously, I know it’s massive club with lots of fans. I’ve been to Celtic Park before so I know what the atmosphere’s like.

“I was here with Molde back in 2015, and I got a goal and an assist in both games. I remember that it was a great atmosphere so I’m really happy to come here.

“Celtic has a great history of winning titles with a lot of fans behind them so I’m proud to be a part of the club.

“This is something I want to achieve at Celtic, scoring goals and creating chances to help the team win games and winning titles.

“That’s what it’s about. That’s my job as an attacker: to score goals and create chances for the team.”

He is in line to make his debut at Ibrox on Sunday in the season’s first Glasgow derby.
