Tam McManus has given his take on the situation of Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard on Twitter.
The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for PLZ Soccer, has predicted that Edouard will run down his contract at Celtic and then leave on a free next summer.
The 23-year-old French striker is out of contract at Celtic at the end of the season.
Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Arsenal are interested in the youngster, according to a report in Eurosport this week.
What should Celtic do with Odsonne Edouard?
Edouard is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and is an important player for Celtic.
The 23-year-old scored 16 goals and gave three assists in 23 league starts last season.
Celtic are aiming to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title from bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers this season, and manager Ange Postecoglou will need a strong squad.
Albian Ajeti and Leigh Griffiths are the other two out-and-out senior strikers in the Celtic squad at the moment.
Yes, Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada and David Turnbull all are scoring now, but the value of a proven goalscorer such as Edouard can’t be understated.
Celtic should look to keep Edouard for this season, as that would be better for their chances of winning the title.
