Brighton and Hove Albion are about to make a bid for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, according to The Scottish Sun.

What’s the story?

The Scottish Sun are reporting that Brighton are seriously interested in Celtic striker Edouard.

The Premier League club are about to make a bid of £20 million for the French striker.

Crystal Palace are also also keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, described as “world class” by his Celtic teammate David Turnbull in The Daily Record in February 2021.

Should Celtic accept it?

Celtic paid £9 million for Edouard, according to Sky Sports, and the striker has repaid that money with his goals over the years.

The former Paris Saint-Germain striker has scored 83 goals and provided 37 assists in 169 appearances for Celtic.

The youngster has won the Scottish Premiership thrice, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup twice each with the Hoops.

One would understand if Edouard wants to leave Celtic and move to the Premier League now.

However, the Hoops should wait and see what happens with their European qualification.

The Glasgow giants should try to hold onto the striker until after their Champions League qualification campaign.
