Everton latest club to enter battle 'to sign Celtic star this summer'

Toffees have watched Odsonne Edouard in action ahead of potential summer bid

Everton have joined the race to sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, according to the Daily Mail.

The French striker has been in fantastic form this season, netting 27 goals in 44 games.

Celtic have been moved to open discussions over a new contract for their biggest asset as they look to convince the player to stay for ten-in-a-row.

However, they will likely have to fend off serious interest from some of England's biggest clubs this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City are also said to be in the hunt for the 22-year-old, while it now seems like Everton are firmly in the hunt after watching Edouard in action against Kilmarnock and Copenhagen.

It is believed an offer of over £30 million is what it'll take to convince Celtic into selling the French under-21 international.
