# Celtic: Fans react to Yan Couto links

**Celtic have been linked with a move for Manchester City right-back Yan Couto.**

And, as to be expected, a number of Hoops supporters have been reacting to the rumours on social media.

[Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1418639613099397124) was the man to share the news on Couto, claiming the Hoops were targeting the Brazilian on loan.

[Joseph](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1418639613099397124) suggested that Couto, who spent last season on loan at Spanish side Girona, is also wanted by clubs in Portugal.

The 19-year-old made [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yan-couto/leistungsdaten/spieler/627228/plus/0?saison=2020) appearances as a right-back, [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yan-couto/leistungsdaten/spieler/627228/plus/0?saison=2020) as a right-midfielder and [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yan-couto/leistungsdaten/spieler/627228/plus/0?saison=2020) as a right-winger last season, scoring [twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yan-couto/leistungsdaten/spieler/627228/plus/0?saison=2020) and registering [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yan-couto/leistungsdaten/spieler/627228/plus/0?saison=2020) assists during his time with the La Liga 2 side.

He’s yet to feature under Pep Guardiola and it seems as if another temporary move away from the Etihad could be on the cards.
