Mohamed Elyounoussi

How is he doing?

The Norway international has been a shining light in an otherwise wretched campaign for Celtic. 37 appearances in all have yielded 13 goals and six assists for him so far, meaning that he has 20 goals and 12 assists across his two spells for the Hoops in the last two campaigns.

Saints future?

Given how well he has done, it would be wise for Saints to give Elyounoussi another chance to show what he can do in the Premier League. Money to spend on transfers is tight due to the pandemic, and they have an in-form alternative here.
