EDOUARD DECISION PARKED BY CELTIC

-

BRENDAN RODGERS is holding fire on a club record £7million move for Odsonne Edouard.

The Celtic manager has been impressed by the striker’s developmen­t and progress during the first half of his seasonlong loan from PSG.

He has first option on a permanent deal but will use the rest of the season to decide if the 19-year-old (above), who has scored four goals, is worth such a big investment. Rodgers said: “I will assess it at the end of the season. He has grown each week he has been with us. There’s no rush.

“It’s for both sides as well. He might love it with us, he might not. I know he is really enjoying it but there is no rush to commit on either side now.

“It’s just a case of seeing how it goes in the second half of the season and we’ll review it then.”
