Celtic are reportedly set to try and secure the services, and fight off any interest for Odsonne Edouard but offering him a new contract.

According to the Daily Record, manager Neil Lennon is desperate to get this deal done, after interest for Premier League clubs and wants to put an end to that by confirming the Frenchman’s stay.

In the past week or so, he has been linked with moves to the likes of Crystal Palace and Everton.

This comes, after the Northern Irishman’s admission, that certain players wanted to leave the club and were free to do so, after Wednesday nights defeat to Hungarian Champions, Ferencvaros. This created lots of speculation around who those players could be that he was talking about.

In yesterday’s press conference though, he came out and said, he is not looking to offload any of his squad, despite his comments

Signing Edouard up on a new deal would be a huge morale booster to both the playing squad and the supports. If he was to sign it and go on to lead us to the 10, he would likely go down as a legend at this club.

He is an excellent talent, that we are lucky to have. Fingers crossed that lasts for at least another year.
