Charlie Nicholas believes Celtic striker Odsone Edouard would be a good fit for Leeds United, and feels they have more chance of landing him than his former club Arsenal.
Edouard is the subject of much transfer speculation this summer, with the Frenchman linked with a move away from Scotland after a prolific couple of years in Glasgow.
The 22-year-old was on fire again as Celtic began the defence of their Scottish Premiership title with a 5-1 win over Hamilton Academical, with Edouard bagging a hat-trick.
The striker has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, although Celtic boss Neil Lennon has stated it is “pivotal” his side hold onto their prize asset.
Nicholas, though, believes Elland Road would make more sense as a destination for Edouard, along with a few other clubs.
"I know Edouard is still under contract but the player still holds all the power” Nicholas told the Express.
"If he decides he wants to leave then it will happen, that has been shown with Moussa Dembele, Virgil van Dijk and Kieran Tierney in the past.
"For Edouard to leave I do think it would take a sizeable fee, whether that is £25 million or £30 million.
"People argue he is worth more than Tierney because he is a striker and he gets goals but the problem is that the market has changed dramatically post-Covid-19.
"I don't see Arsenal making a move for him but I could see Everton, West Bromwich Albion, Leeds United or Leicester City making bids."
Nicholas added: "Leicester is the one of interest because Brendan Rodgers rates him so highly and was the one who signed him for Celtic.
"He knows he can trust Edouard to play the way he wants.
"That is important because I don't see him fitting into an Everton or a Newcastle, but he might suit a Leeds United and would also do well at Leicester.
"He has to go to a club that suits his style because he knows that when he does leave and goes to the Premier League he is probably walking into a £100,000-a-week contract.
"They have six weeks, which is a long time, to wait until the transfer window closes.
"If they can keep him then he is key to Celtic winning 10 and it is no secret that winning this league is everything to the club.
"If Edouard wants to leave then it will happen."
