Crystal Palace boss Hodgson: We're now seeing Edouard best

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson feels they've successfully rebuilt Odsonne Edouard's career.

Edouard scored twice last week in victory over Wolves. He now has four goals in five games.

Hodgson said, “He came here from Celtic where he was so highly-regarded and scored I don't know how many goals and was a big, big star.

“When we first came back to the club he had not established himself as much as he would have liked.

“He did get that position as a centre-forward when we came in and he has got better and better, knowing how we want to try and play.

“He hadn't lost the technique, talent, the skill or the things that made him so big at Celtic. I spoke to Brendan Rodgers not so long ago and he was glowing in his praise about him."
