‘Genk loan was not a failure’ – Celtic's Kouassi insists after Belgian league ends

Eboue Kouassi believes his brief stint in the Belgian First Division A with Genk was a success despite his limited playing time.

Kouassi moved to Belgium in January after falling out of favour at Celtic, with the ‎Luminus Arena outfit holding the option to make the switch permanent at the end of season.

The Ivory Coast midfielder initially struggled with fitness issues upon his arrival at Genk and could only make four appearances across all competitions.
