# West Ham United: GSB set to push for Odsonne Edouard signing before the end of January

**According to a report by[the Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957), West Ham are set to push for Celtic star Odsonne Edouard before the end of January – with GSB now potentially about to join the race for a striker also currently linked with a move to Leicester City ([talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/822261/odsonne-edouard-to-leicester-brendan-rodgers-celtic-jamie-vardy/)).**

Edouard, who has debatably been one of Celtic’s only positive points this season, still managing to net [seven goals in 12 SPFL starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317504/Show/Odsonne-Edouard) despite the Hoops currently being some way off arch-rivals Rangers, is now attracting even more interest – this time from West Ham.

### West Ham set to join Edouard race

As per the Daily Star, David Moyes is ‘[desperate](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957)‘ to sign a forward this month, with the club now turning to Edouard as a solution and they are expected to push for him in a late January move.

However, while this report claims that the 23-year-old is yearning for a Premier League switch and ‘[fancies](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957)‘ a move to London in particular, it doesn’t appear to be for a transfer ti the Irons.

Indeed, Edouard is apparently more keen on English capital rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, but that is only his ideal scenario – with a move to West Ham seemingly not ruled out.

Given the fact Celtic are ‘[ready](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957)‘ to ‘[cash in now](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957)‘ for the correct bid, and that both north London clubs won’t be able to move until summer, West Ham could hold a slender hope in potentially signing him.

As a result, GSB are reportedly set to attempt a swoop before the closure of this transfer window, with Moyes reportedly having him watched north of the border on several occasions.

### Transfer Tavern take

Recently described by Hoops boss Neil Lennon as ‘magnificent’ after a 3-0 win over Hamilton in December ([Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/magnificent-celtic-star-odsonne-edouard-19524116)), it’s little wonder why Moyes is keen – especially taking into account his excellent goal tally over 2020/2021 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317504/Show/Odsonne-Edouard)).

However, a late swoop may prove difficult – with it being hard to imagine GSB forking out his [£35 million price tag](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-edouard-23373957).
