Odsonne Edouard Celtic contract latest as Hoops want star man to fire them to 10-in-a-row

Celtic are in talks with star striker Odsonne Edouard over a lucrative contract extension.

Record Sport understands Parkhead chiefs are in dialogue with their French talisman over the prospect of him signing a fresh deal.

Edouard is contracted until 2022 and a host of top European clubs are ready to move in the summer to try and snap him up with offers of £30 million expected to be lodged.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, who took to the 22-year-old from Paris St Germain, is among those ready to make a summer move.

Celtic, though, are fighting hard to keep their top man and want to entice him to stay.

It is understood the club have been speaking with Edouard’s representatives for some time about the prospect of a new and improved contract to stave off summer interest and convince him to remain in Glasgow for at least another year.

Celtic accept that Edouard will leave at some stage as he aims to develop his career and move to the highest levels.

But, although it's believed no agreement is imminent, the club are determined to try and keep him for as long as possible and have started working on striking a deal which could keep him at least until the end of season 2020-21.
