Despite ongoing speculation linking Edouard with a return, especially amid uncertainties surrounding Kyogo’s future, the French striker will not be rejoining the Hoops.

Kyogo, who has drawn interest from Manchester City, remains a critical part of Celtic’s attack, though Pep Guardiola has recently downplayed the likelihood of additional signings this summer.

Odsonne Edouard, a fan favourite during his time at Celtic with an impressive tally of 87 goals and 38 assists in 179 appearances, has been mooted as a potential reinforcement. However, Crystal Palace’s potential acquisition of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal means Edouard might be available, but not heading back to Glasgow.

Additionally, Brendan Rodgers on Friday told CeltsAreHere that the club would not be looking for a third striker this window. He had initially planned to use a younger player, Rocco Vata, as a third choice, but he’s happy to have Daizen Maeda as a back up in the position.
