Celtic have told Eboue Kouassi he is free to find another club before the window closes at midnight.

The Ivorian was signed by the Scottish champions in January last year for a fee of £3million from Russian side Krasnodar.

Kouassi has made only 19 appearances for Celtic , with his last game being in the 1-0 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle on August 11.

The midfielder was told he could go out on loan last January – but has now been urged to look for a permanent move.

The 20-year-old’s departure has been hastened by the impending signing of Youssouf Mulumbu, who was today confirmed as having penned a two-year deal.

With Scott Brown also ahead of him, Kouassi had little chance of featuring again.

Moussa Dembele could also follow him through the exit door, with the France Under-21 striker agitating for a move.

Kouassi is contracted to Celtic until the summer of 2021.
