Leicester City are receiving encouraging signs in their pursuit of Odsonne Edouard from Celtic.

The French striker is much wanted this summer, with the Scottish giants resigning to selling him.

According to the Daily Mail, Leicester are extremely confident at beating the likes of Arsenal to his signature.

The Foxes believe they have all but secured Edouard, and will agree a deal with Celtic for close to £15 million.

Edouard is seen as the ideal long term replacement for 34-year-old Jamie Vardy by Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers.
