The Celtic striker has been in fine form so far this season.
Celtic ace Odsonne Edouard spoke to reporters after his side’s emphatic 5-0 win over Hearts on Saturday, and admitted that it was a big risk for him to move to Parkhead on a permanent deal from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, as quoted by the Scotsman.
The 20-year-old has been in fine form for the Hoops so far this season, chalking up 11 goals and four assists in 20 appearances in all competitions.
Many fans and pundits alike predicted that Celtic would struggle following the sale of Moussa Dembele in the summer, but Edouard has more than made up for the Frenchman’s exit.
The striker spoke to reporters after Saturday’s win over Hearts, and suggested that it was a big risk for him to join Celtic from the French champions in the summer, as quoted by the Scotsman:
“It is just over a year now that I have been here and I am feeling really happy. Of course, it is difficult to be without my family, but that is a risk that you need to take in life and in football if you want to follow your dreams. “That was a risk that I had to take when I chose to come here and I feel as though I have grown up as a person because I did it. It’s not a problem for me to be here, I’m happy.”
Next up for Celtic is their hugely important Europa League clash with RB Leipzig on Thursday night, and Edouard will have to be on his very best form, if Brendan Rodgers’ side are to have any chance whatsoever of beating the Germans.
