Former Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard turns 25 today. The Crystal Palace attacker left Paradise in the summer of 2021 for London; however, he was a fans’ favorite in Glasgow for his goalscoring ability as well as his vision to provide for teammates.
The Europa League account shared a clip of one of French Eddy’s finest goals, a deft chip against Copenhagen.

It was a shame that the Frenchman was unable to bring about 10IAR but his form was a bright spark in what was an otherwise dismal season.
Edouard was signed in 2017 for £9m and has scored 89 goals for the club, impressing along the way in all competitions. However, Celtic were forced to accept a £15m plus add-ons deal for Edouard. The price probably would have been higher had a deal been agreed the season before; however, given the Frenchman was keen to leave and had just a year remaining, Celtic had to make a deal.
