Celtic sealed a record-breaking transfer for Odsonne Edouard this week.

Odsonne Edouard has suggested on Twitter that he is ‘back home’ after sealing a return to Celtic on Friday.

The 20-year-old striker joined Celtic from Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent basis earlier this week, after impressing for the Hoops on a season-long loan last term.

In doing so, Edouard, who cost £9 million according to The Scotsman, became the Parkhead club’s most expensive signing.

The French hitman scored 11 goals across all competitions last season, and Edouard has reacted to the move on Twitter.

It will be interesting to see if Edouard is now Brendan Rodgers’s first-choice striker.

The Northern Irishman also has Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths at his disposal for now, though Dembele is bound to be the subject of interest again before the transfer window closes.

Nevertheless, Celtic have just spent a hell of a lot of money on Edouard and surely Rodgers can’t justify him being the third-choice option again next term, but time will tell.
