A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the Hoops’ latest training-ground footage, which features Parkhead on-loan winger Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Elyounoussi joined the Bhoys on loan from Southampton last summer on a season-long stint, but his time at Parkhead has been disrupted by injuries and loss of form.

To date, the Norway international has made 20 appearances for Celtic, with just seven Scottish Premiership starts, but he has nonetheless clocked up an impressive seven goals and six assists.

With the 2019-20 Scottish Premiership season now consigned to the history books, the nine-in-a-row champions are now preparing for the new campaign.

Elyounoussi’s loan is due to finish at the end of June, but he was nonetheless put through his paces at Lennoxtown.

According to the Daily Record, Neil Lennon is a huge admirer of the Norway international, but it’s unclear whether Celtic will move for a player reported to have a £9million price tag.

Elyounoussi joined Southampton in 2018 for a reported £16million and, according to Spotrac, his contract – which lasts until 2023 – sees him earn £60,000-a-week.

Nonetheless, plenty of Celtic fans were delighted to see the wide man in training and hoped there could be more to it than him just keeping fit ahead of a return south of the border.

Here is some of the social media reaction:
