Nicholas urges Blues to sign Edouard
Speaking to the Daily Express, former Scotland international Charlie Nicholas has lauded the form of Odsonne Edouard at Celtic and said the French striker would do well if he was signed by Chelsea.
A product of Paris Saint-Germain’s youth system, Edouard joined Celtic on a permanent deal in June 2018 and has been prolific for the Scottish champions, netting 58 goals in 118 games.
Given his excellent scoring form, Nicholas believes the 22-year-old is ready to move to a big Premier League club.
‘Odsonne Edouard is good enough to go and play at a Chelsea or a Manchester United,’ said the ex-Celtic and Arsenal player.
‘I say that with some confidence. I think he could go into both their squads and make a real impact. That is how much ability he has. It is up to him how far he wants to go in his career. The sky’s the limit.
‘Why have I picked these clubs? Because they have both been linked with his former Celtic striker partner Moussa Dembele in recent months.
‘For me, Edouard is a better footballer than the Lyon striker and his fellow Frenchman. He is absolutely nailed on to win the [Scottish] Player of the Year award in my opinion.’
