Odsonne Edouard joined Celtic from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day.

Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard has told The Scottish Sun that he is motivated by his new teammate Moussa Dembele.

Edouard joined Scottish Premiership giants Celtic from Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day.

As stated on the Bhoys’ official website, the Glasgow giants have secured the services of the 19-year-old forward on a season-long loan deal with the option to sign him on a permanent contract.

The 19-year-old French forward has arrived at Celtic Park with a strong reputation and will be aiming to hit the ground running.

The talented and promising teenager has revealed his admiration of his new Celtic teammate Dembele.

Dembele is injured at the moment, but there is no doubt that the 21-year-old is one of the best young strikers in Europe.

The France Under-21 international was a key player for the Bhoys last season, as Brendan Rodgers’s side won the Scottish Premiership, the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

“I have to say I am looking forward to playing with Moussa and spending time with him,” Edouard told The Scottish Sun. “We will certainly have time to discuss loads of things, and what it is like to be here.

“Moussa comes from the PSG academy as well, and when you look at his career so far then him coming here is an example to every player going through that academy.

“Moussa gives everyone motivation by seeing how he has grown and how he has improved. He has become a very good player, and I am really looking forward to learning a lot from him in terms of his development.”
