Ivory Coast boss raves about Celtic target Issouf Bayo

Celtic are being linked with a move for the African striker Issouf Bayo.

The 22-year-old is very highly rated in his country and the Ivory Coast manager Ibrahim Kamara has claimed that Celtic would be getting a ‘killer’ striker if they sign Bayo.

He said: “We have been following Vakoun closely in Slovakia and he fully deserves to be part of our squad. He was first called into the squad three years ago when he was playing in Tunisia and has also been a part of the Under 23s team. He’s quick, direct, has an eye for goal and has the physique to be a top player.
