Recently departed West Bromwich Albion winger Kyle Edwards has opened talks over a move to Scottish giants Celtic [Football Insider].

A West Bromwich Albion Training Ground academy product, the 23-year-old went on to chip in with nine goal contributions in 49 fixtures for the Baggies; four goals and five assists [Transfermarkt].

Leaving the West Midlands upon the expiration of his contract at the end of last month, he could now be set for a switch north of the border [Football Insider].

Any prospective move would be good news his former employers, who would be set to receive a sum of around £300,000 for the Dudley-born attacker, due to their role in developing Edwards since he joined West Brom at the age of six [Football Insider].

In light of this, many Baggies diehards took to Twitter to express their opinions over recent developments.

West Bromwich Albion fans react:

Replying to popular West Brom fan outlet WBA Report, here is how some supporters responded to the Edwards news, with one fan calling the youngster an 'awful' player:

"He needs to play at a lower level so the Scottish farmers league could be a good move"
"No, had enough chance to develop and just plateaued at around league one level imo"
"No, he is awful"

"Nah he'll do ace in that pub league though just look at Scott Sinclair"
"I very much doubt it. Wasn’t good enough and given multiple opportunities and game time to try and do something and prove something but never delivered. Can’t hold onto players just for sentiment"
