Odsonne Edouard hopes he is enjoying the beginning of a long story with Celtic, with the club out to make his loan stay permanent.
Odsonne Edouard has underlined his desire to join Celtic on a permanent deal during the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old striker, who joined the Bhoys on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, enjoyed an impressive first season in Scottish football, scoring 11 times and providing four assists in all competitions as Brendan Rodgers’ side secured another domestic treble.
According to the Daily Record, Edouard will be available for £7m this summer with Rodgers confirming the club are in talks to make the deal happen.
And the player himself has indicated he is eager to sign a permanent deal as soon as possible.
Following Celtic’s 2-0 win over Motherwell that saw them lift the Scottish Cup at Hampden, Edouard wrote in Instagram: “Thank you for this wonderful season to spend with you guys and all fans The beginning of a long story.”
While new arrivals are expected in the coming months, Rodgers has warned supporters not to expect an unprecedented summer of spending, but has reassured he will seek to “freshen up” the current squad.
Elsewhere, Celtic have already wrapped up a new deal for Tom Rogic ahead of next season, with the Australian penning a contract that will keep him at the club until 2023.
