Kouassi Eboue has become Celtic's first signing of the January transfer window after agreeing a four-year deal.

The Scottish champions have secured the services of the 19-year-old for a fee believed to be in the region of £3m.

Eboue was shown around the club's Lennoxtown training base before talks at Celtic Park and a medical at Ross Hall. He then joined the club at their training camp in Dubai while awaiting a work permit.

The player shone for Russian side Krasnodar in the Europa League this term, impressing in his six appearances in the competition. The teenager formerly played for Shirak in Armenia before making the move to Russia this year.

Eboue will join up with the rest of Brendan Rodger's squad for their winter training camp in Dubai.

Celtic hold a 19-point lead in the Scottish Premiership table as they seek to win their sixth successive league title.
