Celtic are ready to send Eboue Kouassi out on loan.

According to a report in The Sun there is interest from clubs in Belgium, France and Germany in taking the player on a season long loan.

Brendan Rodgers signed Kouassi from Russian side Krasnodar in a £2m deal in January 2017 but his progress was hampered by a bout of malaria almost as soon as he arrived in Glasgow.

Last season he started a total of eight matches but failed to feature after the 3-0 defeat away to Zenit St Petersburg.

Following the winter break the 20-year-old put in impressive displays against Hearts and Zenit as Rodgers tweaked his system to include Kouassi alongside Scott Brown and Olivier Ntcham.

With a contract that runs until 2021 there is still plenty of time for Kouassi to make the breakthrough at Celtic with a season long loan at a good level likely to put him in contention to push for a top team place in 12 months time.
