English Premier League side Leicester City are reportedly set to step up their interest in Celtic star Odsonne Edouard this summer.

As reported by the Daily Record, former Celtic and current Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is a long-time admirer of the French under-21 internationalist having signed him for the Hoops back in 2017.

Now the Northern Irishman looks set to step up his interest in bringing him to the King Power Stadium this summer after being linked several times in the past few months.

With the 23-year old almost certainly departing the club. In the summer, his contract will have just one year remaining, so with other sides taking interest in Edouard and Celtic’s own current managerial situation, Rodgers is looking to pounce and take advantage of that by signing the former PSG youngster.

The cash that comes in from the sale of Edouard could be key in the coming months. With the size of rebuild, we have on our hands that money could go a long way in giving whoever the next manager is some much-needed funds to build his squad.
