Guardian Sports writer Ed Aarons is claiming Patrick Viera is targeting Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard as the journalist talks up the French connection at Crystal Palace.
Arsenal legend Patrick Viera has taken over from Roy Hodgson at Palace and is going about assembling his side for next season.
The London club are looking for a striker and have contacted Arsenal about a potential move for one of their younger stars.
However, Aarons believes Edouard is in the transfer conversation and Edouard is known to both Viera and Palace’s new development coach.
Celtic striker Odsonne Édouard, who worked with Palace’s new development coach Saïd Aïgoun at Paris Saint-Germain’s academy, is another potential target for Patrick Vieira https://t.co/QOnydtL6g5

Could a French connection and the lure of EPL wages be enough for Edouard to leave Celtic.
There’s no doubt the player has all the attributes to be a top striker. Career wise, Crystal Palace would be a step backwards, but is it a move Eddy has to make to show his worth in the EPL to win a better move.
Playing for a club at the lower end of the table means his chances will be at a premium and the player will be pinned back with the rest of his teammates.
Is there anyone else looking at the striker at this moment in time?
Who cares where, just get him gone and get the money in.
Aye , Crystal Palace , the Partick Thistle of London’s EPL clubs ?
After the sitter he missed lastnight ill drive him down last season aswell he missed alot so its time wee Griffiths was put on as ajeti is rotten ever who bought him and that stand up goalkeeper needs sack at celtic.i see peter lawwell still has his say at paradise shocking.
Totally agree that Big Eddy should leave asap….I don’t care where…just leave Griffiths is finished with us …I hope…He’s as unprofessional as feck…Get rid.
Ajeti…?? I’m still waiting to see what some arse saw in him…Feckin’ useless.
As for “The Goalie ” ?….If he’s a goalie…then ah’m a Hun…and I’m the furthest thing removed from being a Hun.
On the plus side…I said ( quite a while back) that I thought Soro would prove to be possibly a better player than Turnbull…He’s no far away.
Main thing I want to say ‘though is…
Ryan Christie…where did that come from…??…Superb performance…
But maybe too late…??
Overall I thought we looked good…and can only get better.
Hail hail.
But even at Palace he’d still be playing with a better squad and in a better league, how is that a step down?
