​Celtic forward Edouard 'flattered' by Arsenal interest

Odsonne Edouard admits that he is flattered by interest from Arsenal.

The Celtic striker is wanted by the Premier League giants and other English sides.

He has enjoyed success with the Hoops, helping them win their ninth successive Scottish Premiership title.

And despite the interest from the Gunners, Edouard wants to win ten-in-a-row in Scotland.

The forward said after being named the Scottish Football Writers' Association Player of the Year: "Winning 10 in a row is very important for the club, the players and the fans.

"Of course, I would love to be part of it. No one knows what will happen in the future but I want to be a part of it.

"My first target right now is to play football again after so much time away from the pitch. I only set personal targets for myself once the season actually starts.

"At the moment, I am still under contract with Celtic and my priority is to get back playing again. In the future, we will see what happens."

Edouard added on possible Arsenal interest: "It shows you are working hard and doing the right things as a player.

"It is flattering, but I just concentrate on trying to play well for Celtic. That's what I am focused on at the moment."
