Arsenal are reportedly planning a summer bid for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, but Leicester City remain favourites for the Frenchman’s signature.
The 23-year-old enters the final year of his contract at Celtic Park this summer and the Scottish side could be tempted to cash in.
Edouard could be available for a fee of £15-20 million, and the Gunners see him as a long-term replacement for Alexandre Lacazette.
Leicester, led by Edouard’s former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, are considered frontrunners in the race but the Gunners are hopeful of convincing the player to move to the Emirates.
Arsenal could raise the funds to sign Edouard through the sale of Lacazette, although the France international’s future remains uncertain after a recent upturn in form.
