Elie Youan has been handed a glowing report from former Belgium star Steven Defour and has told Hibs fans what they can expect to see from Lee Johnson's summer recruit.
Fellow new signing Aiden McGeady is well known for getting fans off their chairs and producing that piece of skill and magic that leaves you in awe. But Defour says new boy Youan is just as likely to excite supporters with his big quality outlined as his ability to dribble and produce that bit of magic.
He also has a number of other skills that the former Burnley, Porto and Anderlecht star, who is the current assistant manager at Mechelen where Youan spent the second half of last season, has opened up on. The 23-year-old has arrived at Easter Road on a season-long loan deal from St Gallen with Hibs holding an option to turn the deal into a permanent stay if it works out. He joins a host of first-team signings in the capital this summer including David Marshall and Jair Tavares.
