Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has been told that unless he starts performing off the pitch, changing his agent will mean nothing unless the big Frenchman starts to show his true value on the pitch again.
Frank McAvennie reckons a big money move is not guaranteed for the striker unless he he starts banging in the goals again for Celtic. Edouard recently changed his representation to Stellar Group, which handles contract negotiations for some of the worlds leading names, like Gareth Bale and Kieran Tierney, to the tune of £2.3b.
McAvennie is nonplussed about this as he believes its the produce on the park that earns you the big moves, not agents, “It doesn’t bother me too much that Edouard’s changed agents now.
“The one good thing is that to get a move you have to produce regularly on the park.
“Edouard back scoring goals every week would be great news for Celtic in the second half of the season.
“None of the players being talked about for big moves are going to get that with the way they are playing just now.
“Everyone at Celtic has got to seriously raise their game if the team’s going to somehow win a tenth title.
“Edouard’s a top player who can go to the highest level. I’ve got no doubts about that.
“But he’s got to be doing the business on the park, and for one reason or another it’s not been a great season for him.
“I’ve no problem with Edouard at the moment. He won’t be going anywhere in January because clearly Celtic still feel they have got it all to play for.
“In fact, he won’t be going anywhere while he’s still under contract if the club don’t want anything to happen. That’s the bottom line.
“The price would certainly have to be right, and during this pandemic I don’t see him leaving Celtic until the end of the season.
