Journalist Reveals Rodgers Could Be Plotting Transfer Raid On Celtic This Month

Leicester are considering whether to make a move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard this month, according to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook.

The reporter claims that Brendan Rodgers’s side are weighing up a bid for the France Under 21 international partly because he can play in the Europa League knockout stages for the Foxes this season:

Edouard has been linked with Leicester before, along with the likes of Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Juventus. Reports earlier this week suggested the Hoops may consider selling the 22-year-old for £25m due to the player’s contract situation.

The Frenchman has less than eighteen months left on his current deal and is unlikely to sign an extension. However, it is not believed that the Scottish champions will be open to selling this month.

Considering Edouard’s form this season, there are some fans who would be open to offloading the forward, even in January, but very few would like to see him move to Leicester.
