There is nearly always transfer interest in Elie Youan. The French attacker is out of contract in the summer, and a January departure would prevent Hibernian from losing him without receiving a transfer fee. The forward possesses versatility and an ability to create opportunities from unpromising situations.

Elie Youan had been anticipated to depart Hibernian FC during the summer amid intense speculation regarding his future. Nevertheless, he stayed with the club in Edinburgh. Although he was valued at £3 million, no transfer materialized. Recently, he recovered from an injury and encountered racial abuse from a supporter on social media. His performance has been lackluster due to his extended absence, but he has demonstrated progress in training and is expected to improve in upcoming matches.

Elie Youan has received interest from clubs in his home country, France. This has prompted some supporters to suggest he leave.
