# Celtic: Fans in a panic over form of Odsonne Edouard for France U21s

**Celtic forward, Odsonne Edouard, has been in scintillating form since making his France U21 debut, scoring at least a double in each game he has played, as reported in [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4840987/odsonne-edouard-france-hat-trick-celtic/).**

\[freshpress-poll id=”253040″\]

The [£9m man](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/11405737/odsonne-edouard-signs-four-year-deal-with-celtic) only has to look to former Parkhead team-mate, Moussa Dembele, to see how hard it is to break into the senior squad. Dembele is [performing well in Ligue 1](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moussa-dembele/profil/spieler/229004)and has an impressive [record at youth level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moussa-dembele/profil/spieler/229004) but is yet to receive a call-up.

Edouard was allegedly close to the exit door during the summer with [Monaco reported to have agreed a deal](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/transfer-news/celtic-star-odsonne-edouard-was-16870324) only for it to fall through. The fact that he has got his head down and continued to perform is testament to his attitude.

Whilst proud of their star striker, Bhoys fans are now aware of the increase in attention that Edouard is getting given his exploits for France, and they took to Twitter to express their mixed emotions.
