Celtic manager Neil Lennon has admitted he is not sure whether the club can hold on to Odsonne Edouard beyond the end of the season.
The Frenchman has picked up the player of the month award for January, and speaking about the 22-year-old’s future, Lennon said that he is bracing himself for potential bids:
“I don’t know. We have had no enquiries for him but I am sure somewhere down the line for a player of that calibre there will be.”
Fans on Twitter think the club should do all they can to keep Edouard, or at least ensure they get a sizeable transfer fee if he is sold:
150 million

Edouard has revealed in recent days that he is flattered by the interest being shown in him from other clubs. The likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have all reportedly been taking a look at the forward.
However, the France Under 21 international has also emphasised that he is concentrating on the current season with Celtic, and is looking to help the club achieve its goals this campaign.
