Celtic have completed the signing of Norwegian international Mohamed Elyounoussi.

The winger, 25, penned a season-long loan deal at Parkhead from Southampton earlier this evening.

Elyounoussi played 26 times in all competitions last season between competitive action in the Premier League and international football for Norway.

The playmaker counts Molde and Basel among his former clubs.

Speaking to Celtic TV, the player said: “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.
