Odsonne Edouard Poised for Sensational Celtic Return Amid Crystal Palace Transfer Shuffle
In what could be one of the most thrilling moves of the summer transfer window, Celtic are reportedly eyeing a sensational reunion with their former striker, Odsonne Edouard. The Frenchman, who played a crucial role in Celtic's success during Brendan Rodgers' first tenure, could be making a return to Parkhead after a mixed spell at Crystal Palace.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his squad, particularly with the demands of both defending the Scottish Premiership title and competing in the Champions League. The potential availability of Edouard, coupled with his history at Celtic, has sparked significant interest from the Scottish champions.

Edouard's current situation at Crystal Palace is far from ideal. Under the management of Oliver Glasner, he has found himself on the fringes, struggling for consistent game time. Despite starting in Palace's recent defeat to West Ham, the arrival of Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah, whose transfer to Palace seems imminent, could further push Edouard down the pecking order. Palace's reported £25 million deal for Nketiah, with an additional £5 million in add-ons, would likely limit Edouard's opportunities even more.
This scenario presents a golden opportunity for Celtic. Edouard has previously expressed his fondness for Glasgow and the club, even attending the Player of the Year awards night earlier this year. His return would not only bring back a player who knows the club inside out but also add a proven goal scorer to the squad, a crucial asset as Celtic aim to make an impact in Europe.
Edouard's previous stint at Celtic was nothing short of prolific. He scored crucial goals, including match-winners in Old Firm derbies, and was a fan favorite during his time in Glasgow. His familiarity with Rodgers' system could make his transition back to Celtic seamless, providing the firepower Celtic needs, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Kyogo Furuhashi's future and the recent acquisition of Adam Idah.
As the transfer window reaches its final days, the prospect of Edouard's return is one to watch closely. Celtic have the financial means following Matt O'Riley's record transfer to Brighton, and a move for Edouard would be a statement of intent. It’s a development that could reignite the excitement among the Celtic faithful, bringing back a hero who has unfinished business at Paradise. The next few days will be crucial, and fans can only hope that the stars align for Edouard’s triumphant return to Celtic Park.
