Celtic great Nicholas says Everton better for Edouard than Arsenal

Former Arsenal and Celtic striker Charlie Nicholas says Odsonne Edouard would be ideal for Everton.

Reports have claimed Arsenal were considering a move for the Frenchman, with persistent doubts over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future.

Nicholas told Sky Sports: "He could certainly play at Arsenal because the way they play, his style would be more than suitable for it.

"The problem is getting the judgement right over whether he's ready right now, playing every week for Arsenal compared to who is there already.

"He could be more suitable to Everton if they build their team in the right way. I have watched them quite a bit this season.

"Dominic Calvert-Lewin has had a purple patch but Edouard is a better technical player. He's got more about him than Calvert-Lewin and there's no doubt in my mind he would be a very good buy for someone."
