Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is reportedly a target for Juventus and Milan.

The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Glasgow throughout 2020, and an Italian report says Serie A could be his eventual destination.

Since his opening day hat-trick against Hamilton Accies, Edouard has failed to hit the heights he reached last season. The 22-year-old did, however, score Celtic’s second with a Panenka during Sunday’s Scottish Cup Final at Hampden.

That particular style of penalty was famously used to good effect by Andrea Pirlo against England at Euro 2012, and the Azzurri legend could now link up with Edouard in his role as Juve boss.

Neil Lennon’s men were beaten 4-2 by Milan at the San Siro in November, but Edouard caught the eye with his side’s second goal. According to Calcio Mercato, Milan are prepared to fight it out with Juventus for the France under-21 international’s signature.

They claim that Celtic value the player at between £13.5-18 million.

Edouard has scored a total of nine goals in 19 appearances so far this season, and will be looking to add to that tally this evening when Celtic play host to Ross County in the Premiership.
