Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is bound to attract plenty of interest this summer – and a new rumour emerged over the weekend.

The 22-year-old has racked up 27 goals and 19 assists in 45 games this season, proving himself as a goalscorer and a creator.

Edouard has everything you could want in a striker; he’s big, strong, quick, technically outstanding, possesses smart movement and is a dangerous set piece taker.

Celtic could land a huge fee for Edouard this summer, and The Mirror now claim that Leeds United want to sign him this summer.

It’s claimed that Marcelo Bielsa wants to land Edouard if Leeds win promotion, viewing him as a replacement for Edouard’s former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Jean-Kevin Augustin.

Edouard would certainly be an ambitious target, and Leeds will hope to have major pulling power in the transfer market should they return to the Premier League.

Celtic fans have been taking to Twitter to react to this new rumour, seemingly falling over themselves laughing at the mere though of Edouard heading to Elland Road.

Some think there is ‘absolutely zero chance’ of Edouard joining Leeds, believing he can do much better than joining them even if they win promotion.
