David Hay seems to rate Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard highly.
David Hay has spoken highly of Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard in The Glasgow Evening Times.
The former Celtic midfielder and manager has also suggested that Edouard should start for the Hoops against Hibernian at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this weekend alongside fellow striker Leigh Griffiths.
Hay wrote about Edouard in The Glasgow Evening Times: “When the two of them have played together I think Edouard has tended to be on the left but I think that he is more suited to a central role.
“I don’t know if that means there is a chance for him to come and drift inside a bit in order for the two of them to link up a bit more because I’m not sure that we have quite seen the best of Edouard yet this season.
“I think he is an exceptional talent and he took his goal against Salzburg well over in Austria a few weeks back but I do think that there is still more to come from him.”
Talented youngster
Edouard is one of the best and most promising young forwards in the Scottish Premiership, and the 20-year-old has already shown what he is capable of.
The French forward has scored two goals and provided one assist in seven Scottish Premiership appearances for Celtic so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
In two Europa League games for Brendan Rodgers’s side, the youngster has scored one goal, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
Celtic are third in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 16 points from eight matches, just three points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.
As for Hibernian, Neil Lennon’s side are currently second in the standings with 17 points from eight games.
