TRANSFER MARKET EXCLUSIVE – IN FRANCE LILLE AND LYON CHASE ODSONNE EDOUARD
After exploding under the shirt of Celtic Glasgow, Odsonne Edouard is courted by several European teams. In France, LOSC and Lyon are monitoring it very carefully.
Barred by heavy competition in PSG, Odsonne Edouard left the Parisian nest for Scotland and Celtic Glasgow. A daring bet for this kid who knew all the young French teams, up to Les Espoirs. And for two seasons, Odsonne Edouard has been a hit. With 22 goals scored in the 2019-2020 fiscal year (15 goals in 2018-2019), the French striker interests many European clubs. Borussia Dortmund would notably have an eye on its development. And according to our information, in France, two clubs are thinking seriously about him: Lille and Lyon.
Arsenal and Everton are watching it too.
Luis Campos’ recruitment cell has placed Odsonne Edouard under close surveillance.
The possible and next sale of Victor Osimhen obliges the Mastiffs to prepare his succession and the French would be part of the Lille short-list. Problem: the price asked for Odsonne Edouard is very important. It would be question of 30 to 40 million euros, above what Lille would like to invest. On the other hand, this price could be in the strings of OL.
In anticipation of a big sale by Moussa Dembele, the Gones could recruit a striker. As revealed by le10sport.com, the Lyonnais follow Jean-Philippe Mateta (Mainz). But Odsonne Edouard is also one of the profiles monitored.
On the Premier League side, Oddsonne Edouard’s performances do not leave indifferent either. Like Moussa Dembele who had caught the eye of many English teams when exploding with Celtic Glasgow – before finally choosing Lyon – Odsonne Edouard is in the sights of clubs like Arsenal and Everton. According to our sources, Leipzig would also have an interest. As a reminder, PSG sold it just over 10 million euros in the summer of 2018. TRANSLATION ENDS.
OUR THOUGHTS ON THIS STORY
WHAT IS CLEAR is that Odsonne Edouard is highly rated in both his homeland and in England, which is the likely destination for for Celtic Star Moussa Dembele this summer. Celtic are likely to receive considerable interest in the striker this summer but the priority remains to extend his contract and keep him at Celtic for the 10 in a Row. Odsonne is well aware of the significance of next season and the legendary status that he’ll always enjoy if he leads the line in delivering it for Celtic.
Celtic will like every other club have to adjust to the financial situation that the pandemic has caused worldwide and that is going to result in deflated transfer values. It will definitely be a buyer’s market this summer so in order to maximise the value, let’s hope we are in a position to keep Odsonne for at least one more season.
Here we go. Ten-in-a-Row!
