Celtic fans urge club to meet Southampton’s asking price for Elyounoussi
A number of Celtic fans have urged the club to meet Southampton’s reported asking price for Mohamed Elyounoussi.
A Football Insider report claimed on Wednesday that the Premier League side would demand a fee in the region of £8m-£10million for the winger, after Celtic had made an enquiry over how much he would cost to sign on a permanent deal.
And following the news, these fans have been quick to urge Celtic to meet their valuation.

READ CELTIC VERDICT
Celtic reportedly making contact with Saints over a permanent move is a huge positive step.
Should Celtic sign Elyounoussi permanently
Yes
No
The winger has been in excellent form so far this season, and many had expected the Premier League side to demand a figure closer to the £16million they paid to sign him from Basel in 2018.
A fee in the region of £8m-£10million is certainly within Celtic’s range, and if wages can be agreed with the winger then it would prove to be an excellent bit of business.
