Leicester City are closing on a deal for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.

The Daily Record says City boss Brendan Rodgers is 'actively exploring' the possibility of moving for Edouard.

City have been heavily linked with a move for the France Under-21 international with reports starting to claim that the 23 year-old is close to moving to the King Power Stadium.

Edouard looks likely to leave Celtic in the summer after a poor season or the Parkhead side that saw them relinquish their grip on the Scottish Premiership title to Rangers after nine-straight years winning the top prize across the border.

Edouard's future will certainly be on the agenda and the player's exit is almost certain this summer.
