Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has claimed Odsonne Edouard was "too good" for Scottish football following his Celtic exit.
The Frenchman enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at Parkhead before brining the curtain down on his Scottish Premiership spell in the summer.
Henry's former Gunners' teammate Patrick Vieira brought the 23-year-old to Crystal Palace for his English Premier League opportunity.
Having netted two goals on his debut against Tottenham and now making his first start against Brighton on Monday, he has been lauded for hitting the ground running south of the border.
World Cup winner Henry told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football he had doubts before the switch that the Celtic talisman could make the grade.
When asked if Edouard was a natural finisher, Henry said: "That's exactly what he is.
"You see him here (shows clip of Celtic and Rangers) in an Old Firm derby, as soon as his midfielders get the ball he wants to go in behind.
"He is not interested in controlling it. He will swivel and try and shoot.
"(Showing another clip) Same again here, he could have taken the ball, but he's not interested.
"Let me get into the box, I swivel, and the ball goes in between the leg of the defender (for the goal).
"He's in the box doing what he does best, scoring goals.
"My only question mark was when he is playing in Scotland, was can he do it in the bigger league. No disrespect to the league in Scotland, but he was too good for that league."
