Mohamed Elyounoussi was born in Al Hoceima, Morocco, on 4 August 1994 (age 32), and has built his senior career as a Norway international left winger. His sharpest league return came early, with Molde in 2014, when he scored 13 goals in 30 appearances – the sort of season that tends to move a player from promise into proper attention.
Celtic came into his career in August 2019, when he joined from Southampton. He arrived with a decent pedigree and enough top-level experience to be more than a punt, though not quite the kind of signing that needed garlands thrown at it. His spell in Glasgow was part of a wider career spent between good European clubs rather than one settled, single-club story.
He is now with FC Copenhagen, wearing number 27 and playing mainly from the left. In 2026-27, he has made 16 appearances in all competitions and scored eight goals, including four in three Superliga appearances and three in Conference League qualifying. He has also played in the Champions League and European play-offs for the Danish side.
His current market value is around £4m, according to Transfermarkt. Elyounoussi’s career has taken him from an important early spell at Molde, through Southampton and Celtic, and on to Copenhagen, with steady production from wide areas remaining the thread through it.
