Arsenal favourites to land Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard

Arsenal are emerging as favourites to land Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.

The Daily Express says Arsenal are leading the £25million race for Edouard as they look to replace Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners are set to sell the experienced duo this summer and former Paris Saint-Germain youngster Edouard is at the top of their wanted list.

Edouard, 22, has scored 62 goals in 126 appearances for Celtic and has got several big European clubs mentoring his progress.

The French under-21 international has got both Lille and Lyon interested in taking him back to France while Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Leipzig have also watched him.

But The Gunners head the queue of clubs which also includes Everton who want to bolster their front line this summer.
