I think he'd be a great signing. We only have 2 centre forwards, Laca and Nketiah. Laca is approaching 30.
Edouard looks to me like has a good combination of touch and strength that is needed in the PL and would be a good replacement for Laca (who probably only has 12 months left at the club).

I still think selling Lacazette for a decent fee and bringing in Edouard is the move to go for this summer.

You're a fan of Celtic too, right?

I read on Reddit from Celtic peeps that Edouard is rather lazy and moody. Is there any truth to that, or is that more along the lines of "Edouard is good, please don't take him from us"?

Yes, there may be some truth in that. I don't think it's massively problematic but he does go through periods where he's not at his best and I know some fans attribute that to attitude problems, at least partially because we all know how good he can be on his day. I do think he'd shine more with better players around him.

Ah, sounds like there could be a motivation issue—like he can't be bothered if he's not challenged. Wouldn't mind taking a punt on him if that actually is the case. If worst comes to worst, Arsenal could ship him off to PSG.

Odsonne Edouard is happy to wait in order to seal a big-money move away from Celtic, claims Football Insider.

The Scottish outfit recently slashed the forward's asking price by almost half, sparking what could become a possible bidding war for his services.

Leicester City and Arsenal are among those who have been linked with a move for the 22-year-old.


Good luck to Leicester.

I think he'd be a great signing based on his talent alone, but if it's true he has attitude issues - avoid like the plague.

Arsenal have been told they can sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, 23, for just £15m. (Express)


No thanks

We won't go for him unless one of Nketiah and Balogun leave.

I do think Laca, Nketiah and Balogun will leave next summer.

Auba, Martinelli and Edouard wouldn't be bad options though.

Think it’s safe to say Baloguns left really, just deciding on the juiciest offer, Arsenal can’t offer nearly as much money or game time as other teams. As for Nketiah he’s entering the final year of his contract, don’t think (more I hope) that we don’t offer him another one, which most likely means we’d sell him in the summer.

Arsenal in 'solid' Odsonne Edouard approach as Celtic slap £22million price tag on star striker

The Frenchman's deal expires in 2022 and he's widely expected to move on in the summer.

Arsenal are reportedly keen on a £21.6m move for Odsonne Edouard in the summer, having made a "solid enquiry".

The Celtic star is out of contract in the summer of 2022 and is expected to move on in the summer.

Italian giants Milan and Roma are thought to be interested, while there's also the prospect of a reunion with Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City.

A switch to Arsenal has also been mooted and it's claimed that Celtic have named their asking price.

According to the Transfer Window podcast, Edouard would be available for around €25million (£21.6m).

Arsenal are said to have made a "solid enquiry" for the French Under-21 international.

Selling Edouard could fund a summer rebuild as a new manager and director of football look to reshape the squad to regain the Premiership title.

At the Emirates he would be a replacement for Alexandre Lacazette who is 29 and could move on in the summer.
