Some Celtic fans have been making it clear that they would like to see Vakoun Issouf Bayo leave the club in the ongoing January transfer window.
Reports from the Sun have recently suggested that Bayo is looking to seek a move away from the club in search of first-team football. He is looking to gain a loan move and the report goes onto say that Dutch and Swiss clubs have already shown an interest to sign him.
Celtic fans: Do you want Bayo to leave?
He needs a move
Lennon needs to use him
A Hoops-related page called CelticGossip recently relayed the information on Twitter and many Bhoys fans made their opinions clear, that they would be happy to see him leave this month.
If we do loan him out, has to SPFL to see if he can cut it in the league. I think Motherwell would be ideal.

Celtic signed Bayo in the January of 2019 from Slovakian side Dunajska Streda. He had signed a four-year deal on joining and the fee was reported to be around £2 million. Since joining though, things haven’t exactly gone smoothly for the forward.
So far this season, the striker has made six appearances in the Premiership for the Hoops and is yet to find the back of the net in it. He played once in the League Cup for the side, scoring in that game. In October, the Dunajska man had sustained a knee injury and hasn’t started since.
Last season, Bayo had made just a single Premiership appearance since joining in January.
What do we think?
The signing of Patryk Klimala this month means the squad looks even tougher to get into for Bayo. Odsonne Edouard is the first-choice forward; playing 17 matches for Celtic this season. With Klimala and Leigh Griffiths behind him in the pecking order. That isn’t exactly too promising for Bayo and we feel he needs a loan move to play regularly elsewhere.
