Celtic are reportedly closing in on Odsonne Edouard.
According to the Daily Mail, Celtic are closing in on a £5million plus add-ons deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Odsonne Edouard.
The Bhoys sealed a second successive domestic treble on Saturday with a Scottish Cup final win over Motherwell, with Brendan Rodgers continuing the club’s dominance of Scottish football.
Celtic won’t rest there though, and will be in the market for reinforcements this summer, but one of their top priorities will be to keep hold of loanee Odsonne Edouard.
The 20-year-old forward arrived from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2017, and after a disappointing spell with Toulouse, few Bhoys fans knew what to expect from the versatile forward.
However, Edouard ended the season with 11 goals in 29 games, and even scored three times in his two games against Old Firm rivals Rangers to really become a fan favourite.
With pace and power, Edouard has emerged as the man who could replace Moussa Dembele in the Celtic attack, and he should only get better and better under Rodgers’ guidance.
Now, the pressure is on Celtic to secure Edouard permanently, and the Daily Mail report that the Bhoys are confident a deal will be agreed with PSG imminently.
The move will allegedly be worth £5million plus add-ons, which should take it to a club-record fee for Celtic as they move closer to striking their first summer deal.
