Celtic £30m hitman on Arsenal's radar

 

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has emerged as a striker target for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad this summer, reports The Daily Mirror. 

 

Gunners boss Arteta has only had the January transfer window to work with as he bids to develop the squad in his image. 

 

January saw Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari arrive in north London, but the summer is expected to bring about a raft of new faces at Arsenal. 

 

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season, with Manchester United a viable destination for the Gabon international. 

 

And Edouard has emerged as a possible target for the Gunners, with the Frenchman excelling for Celtic before the SPL was halted due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The 22-year-old has scored 22 league goals for Celtic this season, more than any other player in the Scottish top-flight, with his goalscoring exploits attract interest south of the border. 

 

Arsenal could face competition from Leicester and Everton for Edouard, who has been valued at £30m.
