Eboue Kouassi leaves Celtic after unsuccessful time at club

Eboue Kouassi's unsuccessful Celtic career has come to an end.

The midfielder was brought to Celtic Park in January 2017 by Brendan Rodgers for £2.8m from Russian side Krasnodar, but made just 22 appearances in over three years at the club.

In January of this year Kouassi went out on loan to Belgian side Genk, and the move has today been made permanent.

Genk said: "KRC Genk has activated the option to buy midfielder Eboue Kouassi, 22.

"The Ivorian midfielder is taken outright from Celtic. Kouassi is now signed up until 2024.

"Due to a minor injury and the corona crisis, he has only played in four games so far, but Kouassi was in the starting XI for three games and completed the 90 minutes in the last two.

"He was able to convince everyone at the club of his qualities."

Genk's Scottish football transfer activity could continue this week, with Romanian midfielder Ianis Hagi expected to complete his move from the Belgian side to Rangers.
