Celtic recently uploaded a video to their YouTube channel which should make interesting viewing for supporters. The video shows the first training session that transfer window signings Jeremie Frimpong and Mohamed Elyounoussi have taken part in with their new team-mates.
The Hoops squad is at the moment severely reduced, as many players are away on international duty. It is intriguing that Elyounoussi is not featuring for Norway. However, that could be a good thing for Celtic.
One player more likely to play in first-team
Of the two players, Elyounoussi is far more likely to be involved in first-team football this season.
Even though Frimpong signed a four-year deal with the Hoops, he is more likely to feature for the Hoops academy side this season.
That seems to have been confirmed due to the fact that the former Manchester City man has not been included in the Hoops’ Europa League squad.
Included in Europa League squad
However, Elyounoussi has been included in that squad. As he is only on loan with the Hoops, you would expect him to be involved in first-team action sooner rather than later.
That could mean he features in the Hoops next league game against Hamilton. Neil Lennon will have the chance to work with the player all week.
If he looks good in training, he may well be given a role in the game. Elyounoussi is a player who has the ability to excite fans. The Hoops support will be eager to see the player make his Celtic debut.
It will be interesting to see how all Celtic’s summer signings fare this season. Some will be more prominent than others.
That could well be the case with Elyounoussi and Frimpong. However, should Frimpong impresses so much he makes the first-team this season, that is a sign that the player has a very bright future in the game.
Should that happen, it will be a good sign for Celtic.
