ODSONNE EDOUARD has thanked the Celtic supporters after the Frenchman was awarded the Celtic Player of the Year for 2019/20 season. The French striker was in incredible form last season, scoring 28 goals and notching 12 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions as Celtic steamed towards matching Jock Stein’s 1974 record.
In a post on his Instagram, French Eddy thanked the fans that voted for him.
Edouard has already hinted that he is staying for next season as Neil Lennon looks to secure him on new terms, with both camps having opened tentative talks about next year.
Hopefully Celtic can secure Edouard on improved terms as the club look to better Stein’s record and continue creating Scottish footballing history. Since arriving, initially on loan from PSG, Edouard has matured into a really top talent and whilst it is expected that there will be interest in him, Celtic should stand firm.
The coronavirus global pandemic has re-shaped the football environment completely and the transfer market of the next few windows will be radically different. It will be a buyer’s market with some clubs having to sell cheaply to survive and recover and that’s not a position that Celtic will be in.
Equally Edouard and his advisors will know this and may be more inclined to stay where they are at the moment and look for a move further down the line when the game has had a chance to recover. Edouard also knows the significance of ten-in-a-row and recognises the status that his involvement in delivering this will bring.
🏆| Well deserved @Oedouard22, you’ve been immense this season!👏#CelticPOTY #CelticFC #DafabetPOTY20 https://t.co/h4jxznfV3p
