Frank McAvennie in shock Odsonne Edouard blast as Celtic hero makes 'didn't want to be there' claim

Frank McAvennie reckons Odsonne Edouard looked like he no longer wants to be at Celtic in the pre-season game against Ross County.

The former Scotland cap told Football Insider that he’s not been impressed by the Frenchman in pre-season.

Edouard has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Leicester and Everton as a host of European clubs keep close tabs on the Hoops talisman.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has stated repeatedly he wants the 23-year-old to remain in Glasgow as they push for Ten In A Row. 

But McAvennie reckons the France U21 star's pre-season form is a real cause for concern.

He said: "They are still talking about Edouard going. It is incredible.

"When I watched Edouard the other day he looked a wee bit disinterested. Like he did not want to be there.

"Maybe he is just a big game player and he is just getting the minutes in. Maybe he needs crowds.

"I would watch this space with Edouard. Everybody has a price. If somebody offers above their valuation you have got to take it.

"I have not seen enough from Edouard in pre-season.

"I know it is just pre-season but I have not seen anything that suggests that he is up for this. This is a massive season."
