Mohamed Elyounoussi, born in the heat of Morocco on 4th August 1994, plies his trade primarily as a left winger for FC Copenhagen. Standing at 5ft 10in & weighing 11st, he carries the number 10 on his back.
He kick-started his career in Norway's Eliteserian, first with Sarpsborg 08 from 2011, then transferring to Molde in 2014. His time at Sarpsborg saw Elyounoussi clocking a total of 38 appearances and six goals over two seasons.
Upon moving to Molde, he showed a marked improvement. Over three seasons, he made a total of 70 appearances and netted 30 goals.
In 2016, Elyounoussi made the switch to Basel in Switzerland. His two seasons with Basel showed consistent promise with a total of 65 appearances and 20 goals.
In 2018, Elyounoussi joined the English Premier League with Southampton. His stint, however, was underwhelming with only 16 appearances and no goals in the 2018-2019 season.
In 2019, Celtic secured him on a loan. This proved beneficial for the lad, who in his first season appeared 10 times and scored 4 goals. In his second season, his performances improved greatly with 34 appearances and 10 goals.
On returning to Southampton in 2021, his form was patchy at best. Over 2 seasons, he made 63 appearances and scored just 5 goals.
In 2023, Elyounoussi transferred to FC Copenhagen. So far, he has made 29 appearances and netted 9 goals making it a fairly decent start. Now in the 2024-2025 season, he remains a core part of FC Copenhagen's squad.
Aside from his club career, Elyounoussi took to the global stage, contributing decently in the Champions League, Euro Qualifiers, Superliga Play-Offs, and DBU Pokalen. As a representative of the Norway national team, his performances continue to stir interest.
