Celtic fans react as Eboue Kouassi edges towards Genk loan

Eboue Kouassi looks to be nearing a move away from Celtic this month.

Belgian outlet HLN reported over the weekend that Kouassi had travelled to Genk to finalise a loan move, with the Daily Record also stating how he underwent a medical.

Following the news, a number of Celtic fans have shared their reactions on social media, with many suggesting the midfielder has been unlucky during his time with the Hoops.

READ CELTIC VERDICT

Kouassi’s injury struggles since his move to Celtic have certainly hindered the midfielder’s progress, and I believe a loan move would be excellent for him.

He is a talented player on his day, and hopefully a spell of regularly first-team football will allow him to rediscover his confidence and put together a consistent run of form. 

Furthermore, the move will also give him the chance to either prove himself to Neil Lennon or put himself in the shop window in order to land a permanent move elsewhere in the summer.

As one fan suggests, Ryan Christie’s loan spell with Aberdeen worked wonders for him at a time where it looked as though he would struggle to break into the first-team at Celtic.

The midfielder is now a crucial player for club and country, emphasised by how he has played 39 times this season for Celtic and Scotland, and it would be excellent to see Kouassi emulate Christie’s success following a strong loan spell.
