Genk have announced the signing of Eboue Kouassi on a four-year deal from Celtic, after convincing the club during his loan spell.
He temporarily moved to the Luminus Arena on a six-month deal in January, and they triggered the option to buy with a contract that will keep him at the club until 2024.
Kouassi made four appearances for Genk during his loan spell, which include three starts and one substitute appearance in the Belgian First Division A before the league came to an abrupt end a fortnight ago because of the coronavirus pandemic.
