Mohamed Elyounoussi makes Celtic training return as £16m Southampton winger's transfer status remains unclear

Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi was back with Celtic on Wednesday as he got back down to work after lockdown.

The £16m winger was put through his paces as he returned to Lennoxtown with his loan deal set to expire in the coming weeks.

His parent club are putting the finishing touches on their Premier League return preparations but the Norwegian winger was back in Glasgow where he spent the 19/20 season.

Neil Lennon is a huge admirer of the wide man who netted seven times in 20 appearances from the left wing.

The 25-year-old was flying before an pre-Christmas injury put the buffers on an all-action start to life in Glasgow.

It's unclear if Celtic will make a move for a player who cost the Saints £16m from Basel back in 2018 with Real Sociedad reportedly keen on securing his services.

Southampton will likely seek a decent fee - even amid the COVID-19 pandemic - as Celtic also remain keen on his St Mary's teammate Fraser Forster.

Elyounoussi was filmed pushing the pace on Wednesday and was joined by the likes of star trio Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie and Callum McGregor.
