CHARLIE NICHOLAS has called on the Celtic board to give the support a major boost heading into the final part of the season by handing Odsonne Edouard, making the Frenchman the top earner at the club.
Celtic fans want Eddy to stay as long as possible but a certain amount of pragmatism is involved and we know he could go this summer if the Celtic board see a number they like.
Nicholas was full of praise for the Frenchman and claimed he will surpass Moussa Dembele.
“If I was Celtic I would be looking to add to that feel-good factor by giving him a new contract.” Charlie wrote in his Express Column as cited by SunSport.
“Reward him for what he is doing.
“You don’t even have to extend the length of his contract but put him up there as the top earner.
“Why not? It is not going to kill Celtic. They posted good financial figures, so why not use some of that money to strengthen their title bid?”
For once we agree with the Sky Sports pundit! Although we want to see a longer deal in place, not because we think he’ll see it out but it might prompt the player to stay one more season after this one and if Celtic get the nine, ten in a row becomes the target.
The striker is Celtic’s best player, to reward him with a new deal and the opportunity down the line to move on for big money seems like a no brainer. We will make any wages paid back in his final fee!
