Some have joked in the past Southampton don’t have a scouting system in the conventional sense, they have a Celtic season ticket.

The club have raided Celtic for a good few of our top stars over the years and it’s little wonder they come back to the well every so often to see what’s happening.

Odsonne Edouard is a man very much in demand this summer and the Hoops are looking to get top value for a player who is entering the final year of his deal.

While we don’t expect Celtic to get the same numbers they thought they could get pre-pandemic, his talent and ability certainly put Celtic in a strong position when it comes to the striker’s transfer fee.

Sunsport report Southampton are looking into potentially pinching the Celtic striker from under the noses of other EPL sides.

Leicester have been heavily linked with a move for the player over the past few months – a reunion with Brendan Rodgers might be the ideal place for the Frenchman.

However, if Leicester want the striker, they need to part with a large chunk of cash.

The more clubs interested in Odsonne the better.
