Celtic face a battle to keep hold of striker Odsonne Edouard this summer, with a number of clubs swarming for his signature.

Edouard has been simply sensational this season. 27 goals and 19 assists in all competitions this season has seen the Frenchman become a wanted man.

The 22-year-old is wanted by Newcastle (Daily Star), Arsenal (Express) and Tottenham (The Times), with Celtic potentially seeking huge money.

Celtic would be wise to start looking for potential replacements, just in case they receive an offer too good to refuse for Edouard.

The Telegraph now claim that the Bhoys are keen to sign Wolfsberger striker Shon Weissman, identifying him as a potential Edouard replacement.

The Israeli hitman has smashed 29 goals in 30 games this season, and Celtic now appear to be interested in adding another Israeli to their contingent.

Celtic fans have been taking to Twitter to react to this rumour, praising Weissman for his ‘incredible’ goal record.

Some believe he should be signed to play alongside Edouard rather than as a replacement, though others think Patryk Klimala deserves a chance before another striker is signed.
