Moussa Dembele was a big success at Celtic during his two years at the club.
The former Rangers star has raved about Edouard, and believes that the 21-year-old striker is a ‘real handful’ for opposition defenders.
Ferguson has also said that although the 21-year-old can look “lazy” at times, he is a “top striker” when he is in form.
Dembele was on the books of Celtic from the summer of 2016 until the summer of 2018 when he joined French club Lyon for a transfer fee reported by The Glasgow Evening Times to be worth £20 million.
According to The Glasgow Evening Times, the 23-year-old striker scored 51 goals in 94 games for the Hoops.
Ferguson said on PLZ Soccer: “I think Edouard has the potential to be better than Dembele. When he’s on the top of his game he’s a real handful.
“One on one you always fancy him scoring. He looks lazy at times but that’s his just his mannerisms, when he’s on fire he’s a top striker.”
Huge potential
Edouard is a very talented striker who has been scoring goals regularly for Celtic, and he will only get better in the coming years.
The 21-year-old striker has scored three goals in four Scottish Premiership appearances for the Hoops so far this season, according to WhoScored.
With Dembele gone, his French compatriot has ably replaced him in the team.
