Odsonne Edouard Celtic tease as club hype the combination every fan wants to see next season

It's the sight every Celtic will be desperate to see come August 1.

Perhaps the single most important element of the club's summer is ensuring Odsonne Edouard steps out at Parkhead come the new Premiership season.

The striker has blossomed into the main man in Glasgow's East End and the club are keen to keep him in Scotland for a tilt at Ten in a Row.

Record Sport revealed earlier this year that Edouard could yet sign a new contract to fend off mounting interest from Europe and the Premier League.

Former boss Brendan Rodgers had been plotting a summer move, while the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked.

Supporters know how good a player they have on their hands and it's why seeing Edouard emerge from the tunnel kitted out in Celtic's new adidas strip will mean as much as any new signing.

The club responded to fans by providing a tantalising glimpse of the striker kitted out in the new design on their official Twitter.

Social media has also been awash with speculation that the Frenchman could be handed the iconic number seven shirt next season.

That follows comparisons to club icon Henrik Larsson, such was Edouard's impact last term.

The club are set to officially launch their adidas partnership on July 10.

The unveiling will include new home, away and third kits as well as a full range of training wear.

Celtic's contract with the Germain sportswear giant is believed to be worth over £25million.
