Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is worth £40m says Andy Walker

Odsonne Edouard is worth £40m, according to Sky Sports pundit Andy Walker.

Celtic striker Edouard began his season with a hat-trick in his side's 5-1 win against Hamilton Accies, and former Celtic star Walker believes he's good enough to play for the top sides in England's Premier League.

Edouard has been linked with numerous clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham.

Speaking on the Sky Sports Scottish Football Podcast, Walker said: "The standout performer from the first weekend was Odsonne Edouard, and Neil Lennon's biggest hope is that he's still a Celtic player when the transfer window closes.

"I've got to say, I have my doubts, because I think he's good enough to play for a top six club in England who have the money to tempt him.

"We talk a lot about how much players in Scotland are worth. This is a guy who is 22 and will probably go on and play for the French national team. I watch a lot of football in England, and I've seen Joelinton at Newcastle, who cost £40m, and 100 per cent Odsonne Edouard is a better player.

"I'm not suggesting Celtic will hold out for £40m, but he is that good."
