There are reports this morning Odsonne Edouard is now considering a Celtic stay for this season.

On the face of it, it would appear to be good news but if the Frenchman stays and doesn’t sign a new deal it’s an absolute disaster for Celtic.

Eddy is in the final year of his deal, many expected the striker to be a Leicester player in the coming weeks but now that deal is off according to MailSport, who are also claiming Eddy is contemplating another year at Celtic.

Right now, the market isn’t there for massive money moves and top wages. Clubs have been cutting their cloth all over Europe.

If Eddy stays and plays in a half-hearted manner only to sign a deal with some other club in six months and pocket a massive signing-on fee, it would be a financial disaster for the Hoops.

Celtic spent £9m on Edouard three years ago with the plan to sell him when the time was right. If the player decides to stay, that money is gone.

Getting a large fee for the Frenchman this year would help the club in their rebuild.
