According to the Daily Mail, we’re closing in on signing Odsonne Edouard for £5 million from French side PSG.
French Eddy as he is more affectionately known, it’s looking as though the Bhoys are doing all they can to get this one completed sooner rather than later.
Certainly, £5 million seems a reasonable price for what he gives us and I am pretty confident we’ll manage to get this one done in the relatively near future.
Whilst we wait to see what eventually pans out, though, let’s take a look at the reaction to the news on social media from our fans:

Absolute steal at that price

Bargain at that
— BarryRogan (@bobrogan11) May 24, 2018
Absolute steal at that price. He’ll be sold for 4 times that outlay after starring for Celtic

The Verdict
I think it represents value for money and so I’d be pleased to see this one go through.
He’s got plenty of pace and power and an obvious clear eye for goal, I just hope signing him doesn’t mean that we end up letting Moussa Dembele or someone like that go in the opposite direction.
