Many Celtic fans have given short shrift to reports of a potential big-money bid from the English Premier League for Odsonne Edouard.

The Daily Record reported that Leicester, who are managed by ex-Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers, are considering a £30m offer for the 21-year-old striker, who has struck 16 goals for the Scottish champions this season.
According to the Daily Record, Celtic will flatly refuse to sell Edouard until next summer at the earliest, with @celticbible on Twitter notifying followers of the Foxes’ interest in the Frenchman.

The striker has also been targeted by Crystal Palace (as per The Scottish Sun) in recent weeks, while The Daily Mail reported last September that Napoli had been considering a £30m bid for him.
Since first coming to Parkhead in 2017, Edouard has scored 49 goals in 112 appearances for the club and became their record signing in summer 2018 when joining permanently from Paris Saint-Germain for £9m (as per Sky Sports).
Following the abrupt departure of Rodgers from the club to take charge of Leicester nearly a year ago, these Celtic fans on Twitter are not keen on the prospect of their striker joining the Foxes for £30m and reuniting with his former manager:
Would rather sell him for £20m elsewhere than to 🐀

£30m + Vardy and Tielemans and we’ll talk.

£30m is a good price, for Leicester its £75m

Do you think Celtic should hold out for more than £30m for Edouard or does that seem a fair price for him? Join in the discussion by commenting below!
