# Reporter believes Odsonne Edouard is ‘a certainty to leave’ Celtic

**Odsonne Edouard is certain to leave Celtic before the transfer window closes, according to [The Celtic Way](https://www.celticway.co.uk/) reporter Anthony Heggarty.**

Following an impressive season-long loan, Edouard joined the Scottish giants from Paris Saint-Germain for a [club-record fee](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/11405737/odsonne-edouard-signs-four-year-deal-with-celtic) three years ago.

The striker has gone on to become a key figure for Celtic, with him scoring [83 goals](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/11405737/odsonne-edouard-signs-four-year-deal-with-celtic) in 168 appearances.\

However, it appears Edouard is [agitating](https://www.givemesport.com/1671118-celtic-transfers-odsonne-edouard-will-look-to-leave-regardless-of-eddie-howe) for a move away from Celtic Park this summer and there are a number of interested clubs south of the border in the Premier League.

While [Leicester City](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/odsonne-edouard-leicester-patson-daka-5596052) and [Arsenal](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15479229/arsenal-transfer-leicester-edouard-celtic/) have previously been linked, Brighton & Hove Albion now appears to be his most likely destination as [reports](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1464353/Brighton-Celtic-Odsonne-Edouard-Arsenal-Ben-White-transfer-news) suggest Graham Potter’s side are lining up a bid.

Although new Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou would prefer to keep a goalscorer of Edouard’s calibre at the club, Heggarty cannot see a way for the frontman to remain at the Scottish club.

Speaking to The Transfer Tavern, Heggarty said: *“I think Edouard is a certainty to leave the club.*

*“There are three players who have seemingly agitated for a move. The finger was pointed at Kristoffer Ajer, Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard. The three of them have been accused of downing tools. I don’t believe that a professional footballer would do that.*

*“There’s been no bids but I still expect Edouard to leave because he wants to leave the club. If you’ve got a player that wants to leave, it’s best for all concerned if they move him on.”*
