Leicester overtake Arsenal, West Ham in race for Celtic striker Edouard

Leicester City are leading their rivals in the pursuit of Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.

The Frenchman is desperate to leave Parkhead after failing with a transfer request last summer.

And his wish may be granted soon as Football Insider reports Leicester have made progress in transfer talks with Celtic.

The 23-year-old is also a target for Arsenal and West Ham United.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers worked with Edouard in Glasgow.

The Northern Irishman is keen to add the former PSG man to his attacking stocks alongside the vastly improved Kelechi Iheanacho.

Celtic have been forced into the sale as Edouard has refused to sign an extension on his current deal which expires next summer.
