Andy Walker has told Sky Sports that Celtic could sell reported Arsenal target Odsonne Edouard for £15 million.
The former Celtic striker, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Edouard will leave the Hoops at the end of the season.
Walker has added that if Celtic get £15 million for the 23-year-old French striker, then the Scottish Premiership giants will sell him.
The Daily Star reported in January 2021 that Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Edouard, and that the North London club could make a move for him in the summer of 2021.
Walker told Sky Sports: “Odsonne Edouard realises that he’s got ability and is worth a lot of money. How much? I’m not sure, as he’s not been firing on all cylinders.
“Let’s say they paid £9m for him but any player who switches off – I think that’s alarming for any potential suitor. I know that it’s your job as the manager and the coaching staff to keep players on board but Edouard, Ntcham and a few others didn’t get the moves that they were expecting last summer.
“Neil Lennon highlighted as much after the defeat to Ferencvaros. He wanted players to just leave, but that was just one of the problems that Celtic had at the start of the season. Edouard didn’t appear totally committed, and I think now he realises it’s not so long until the summer transfer window.
“He’ll get his move now, so how much money will Celtic get for him? It all depends on how much they’re willing to accept, but if they got anything around £15m now I think you’re absolutely doing business.”
Bargain signing for Arsenal?
It remains to be seen if Celtic are willing to sell Edouard and how much they will want for him.
The 23-year-old is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership, and the youngster would be a bargain signing for Arsenal for just £15 million.
The Frenchman is a regular goalscorer, holds the ball up front well, and can be a focal point for the team.
According to WhoScored, Edouard has made 17 starts and three substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic so far this season, scoring 13 goals and providing two assists in the process.
The 23-year-old Frenchman has also scored two goals in four Europa League games this season, according to WhoScored.
