The free-scoring French hitman could have a wonderful season with Celtic.
Fraser Forster has admitted that he was a fan of Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard before re-signing for the club.
The big English goalkeeper joined the Hoops on a season-long loan from Southampton last month, having left Parkhead to join the Parkhead club in a £10 million deal five years ago [The Guardian].
Edouard, who is Celtic’s most expensive-ever signing following his £9 million move from Paris Saint-Germain a little over a year ago, looks on course for a brilliant season after scoring eight times across all competitions already.
Asked on Celtic’s YouTube channel how highly he rates Edouard, Forster said: “Oh massively. I think the goals he scores are important goals at important times.
“I’ve watched a lot of the games down South and obviously seen him here in training, he’s a very good player.”
There is a tonne of pressure on Edouard’s shoulders this season.
Leigh Griffiths doesn’t appear to be as involved as Celtic fans might’ve hoped, while Vakoun Issouf Bayo is still very unproven in Scottish football.
The Bhoys are going for nine Premiership titles in a row and the success of that bid is certainly linked to Edouard maintaining his goalscoring form for much of the campaign.
