    That's what stood out for me too, considering he is only 19 I can't think of many other midfielders who have this style of play at that age and he looks pretty physical already too, if Brendan gets him on the same diet as Ajer and fills him out he could be some player

    So natural in that position and at that age should be a great signing. Yeah he will bulk up, he looks really athletic though anyway, like Broony has good speed and balance, even though he is skinny he's pretty solid and strong.

    Celtic signing from Krasnodar Kouassi Eboue, 19, wants to be the next Paul Pogba. "I want to do what Pogba has in football — and MORE. I am very happy to be signing for a big club like Celtic with so much history. I am excited to be working with Brendan Rodgers as he is a very big coach. I can learn a lot from him. My ambition with Celtic is to make history for the club, to enjoy the experience and make everyone at Celtic very happy."

    That is a quote from a Celtic fan page on instagram - anyone else seen anything?

    Good news if Russian agent is correct & we have no reason to disbelieve him .
    I wonder the fact that Ajer is with them in Dubai is because Brendan is thinking of giving him some game time
    I don't want him loaned out as I think we have better coaches & facilities than most clubs . It has been a big enough up upset for the young fellow's lifestyle moving from Norway to Glasgow , without moving him again

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is confident imminent new signing Kouassi Eboue can immediately vie for a place in the Glasgow club’s first team.

    The runaway Scottish Premiership leaders, currently in Dubai for some warm-weather training as the league breaks for almost four weeks, are close to finalising a deal to bring the Ivorian from Krasnodar, the Russian Premier League side.

    Celtic are waiting on a work permit being granted, although Eboue has travelled with the squad to the Emirates. The 19-year-old midfielder, who made 18 appearances for Krasnodar this season, was called up to the Ivory Coast national team for the first time in November, but is yet to make his international debut.

    Celtic anticipate the reported £2.8 million (Dh12.5m) transfer could be confirmed within the next 24 hours, with Rodgers certain the club have signed not only an exciting prospect, but someone who can compete right away for a first-team spot.

    "It’s not complete yet, but hopefully will be very soon," Rodgers said. "Eboue can come into the team now, he’ll just need a little bit of time to adapt. But I took him at 19 as one who will come straight into the first-team squad and who will come in and show he has the qualities to play."

    Predominantly a defensive midfielder, Rodgers has been attracted by Eboue’s versatility, yet a place alongside captain Scott Brown at the base of the Celtic midfield remains his most obvious role. Eboue joined Krasnodar in 2014 from Armenia’s Shirak and has impressed in Russia to such an extent that he was linked with a number clubs, including Monaco.

    "Firstly, he plays with intensity, he’s aggressive, he presses the game well, has a good tactical understanding for a young player and he’s technically very strong," Rodgers said. "And he’s got big potential to improve."
