Will we Sign this Celtic Star?!

What there is to know about Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard, and why we are considering buying him… Especially as there is heavy rumours of Slimani leaving this week to French side Lyon!

Edouard is 22 years old, a French Forward currently playing at Scottish Premier League side Celtic.
He started his senior career at Paris Saint Germain’s B team, playing 15 matches for them and scoring 5 goals in his 1 and only season with them.
He then got his move to PSG’s 1st team side, but in his 2 years at the club, he didn’t play a single game for them, and went out on loan instead…

He first went out on loan to Toulouse, making 16 appearances and only scoring once in his time there, then in the following season he got a move to Scottish Giants Celtic back in 2017-18 season.
He played 22 matches, and scored 9 goals for them in his first loan spell with them, which was enough for the Frenchman to secure a contract with Celtic, and it is safe to say he has hit the ground running with them…

He has been playing with Celtic on a contract since 2018, making 74 appearances and scoring 44 goal so far for them! Which is a good conversion rate, and also the reason our boss Brendan has been eyeing him up to join the Foxes!

He has been playing for the France squad since 2014, and is currently playing in the U21 squad for France, so far making 10 appearances and scoring 15 goals, scoring at least 1 goal a match! He seems like a decent player, doesn’t he?

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say about Edouard and him potentially joining Leicester…
“Overall he seems like a good player, he has been very consistent for Celtic. It’s a tough choice if we should get him or not, we have seen players who look good in other leagues, like Slimani, come into our squad and not perform to the standards we thought they can.
He’s never played in the Premier League, so if we get him it would be a risky purchase, hopefully we don’t spend a ridiculous amount, because we don’t want to overspend on a flop… Hopefully if we sign him, he will be a good player!”

What do you think to him? Would he be a good addition to this Leicester side?
