The transfer has been completed after we triggered the option to buy clause in his loan agreement, with the 24-year-old putting pen-to-paper on a three-year deal with Hibs. The terms of the transfer will remain undisclosed.
Youan has been a key player for Lee Johnson during the 2022/23 campaign and has put in a number of eye-catching displays.
The exciting forward has contributed to 14 goals in the cinch Premiership this season, scoring seven and setting up seven, meaning the Frenchman has the most assists in the league this season outside of players from Celtic and Rangers.
His tricky, dynamic style of play has made him a fans’ favourite, alongside his iconic ‘sleep’ celebration.

Hibernian FC Manager Lee Johnson commented: “We are delighted to bring Élie to the Club on a permanent basis. We always believed he had the attributes to help us and his positive form this season shows how important it was to include an option to buy clause in his initial loan agreement.
“I’d also like to thank the Gordon family for backing us with a significant financial investment, which allowed us to make him a Hibs player.
“There’s no doubt that Élie’s got a lot of unique attributes; he’s rapid, can repeatedly sprint, and is a good finisher. He’s still young and we need to keep developing him off the ball, so he can achieve his full potential.
“We can’t wait to keep working with him, so he can become an even more important player for us.”
