Odsonne Edouard has been linked with a sensational return to Celtic, with the Hoops said to be interested in the striker.
The prospect of Odsonne Edouard returning to Celtic is stirring excitement among fans with uncertainty looming over the future of current striker Kyogo, who has caught the eye of Manchester City. Although City’s manager Pep Guardiola has downplayed further summer signings, the interest in Kyogo persists.
Edouard, who left a significant mark during his tenure at Celtic Park with 87 goals and 38 assists across 179 appearances, could find himself back in familiar territory as Crystal Palace looks to reshuffle their squad. The potential acquisition of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal has put Edouard on the possible exit list, creating an opportunity for Celtic.
London journalist Bobby Manzi has reported that Edouard could be available, with Celtic showing strong interest if he is indeed on the departure list at Palace. Edouard’s affection for Glasgow and his continued connection with Celtic—evidenced by his appearance at the club’s Player of the Year Awards last season—suggests a reunion could be warmly received on both sides.

If Celtic can secure Edouard, it would bolster their attacking options significantly, giving Brendan Rodgers valuable flexibility and depth. However, integrating three high-calibre strikers into the lineup would pose a challenge in terms of managing playing time and keeping all players satisfied.
It’s certainly an exciting link and one to keep an eye on.
