‘Pay It! ‘Get It Done’ ‘Should Pass At That Price’ Fans On Social Media React As Celtic Loanee’s Asking Price Is Revealed
Celtic loan star Mohamed Elyounoussi could be signed on a permanent basis for £9m in the summer, according to reports in the Scottish media.
It had been claimed that the Saints had paid £16m for the 25-year-old, with the Swiss international said to be on £65,000 a week at St Mary’s. However, it appears he was signed for only £12m with his basic salary closely matching some of Celtic’s highest-earning players.
With that being the case, the majority of supporters on Twitter want the club to spend the money to keep Elyounoussi at the end of the season:
Pay it!!!
We're a better team with him in it.
Simple ????

A few fans think it could prove too expensive:

Elyounoussi’s record for Celtic does suggest purchasing him could well be a wise move. The Swiss star has scored seven goals and contributed six assists in just 13 games since his arrival in the summer.
Although a foot injury has hampered him in recent weeks, if he can continue that sort of form on his return after the winter break, he could well be worth the outlay.
