Scottish Premiership champions Celtic beleive they can sign Odsonne Edouard from Ligue 1 giants PSG permanently this summer.

Odsonne Edouard has just one month remaining in his loan spell at Scottish Premiership giants Celtic – but we are no closer to finding out whether or not the PSG youngster will be sticking around.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has always insisted that Celtic will make their decision at the end of this season but it has seemed more and more likely recently that Edouard will earn himself a permanent deal at Parkhead.

The 20-year-old did not feature often in the first half of this season but has seized his chance to make an impact after the turn of the year, notably netting a brilliant winner in the 3-2 Old Firm derby win at Rangers.

According to the Scottish Sun, Celtic believe they have the first option to sign Edouard this summer for a fee of around £7 million – but there could be a sting in the tail.

Because it is understood that PSG are setting up a partnership with Portuguese outfit Vitoria de Guimaraes which will allow the French giants to loan their most promising youngsters out to the Primeira Liga side.

And the Scottish Sun believes that Edouard could now be playing his football in Iberia next season rather than Glasgow with reports in Portugal claiming that PSG sporting director Antero Henrique has already promised to loan Edouard to Guimaraes.

And Celtic fans have had a rather mixed response to these reports.
