Arsenal receive massive boost to sign 23 y/o target after Romano’s transfer claims – originally posted on Sportslens.com

Arsenal may have just received a massive boost to sign Odsonne Edouard from Celtic this summer.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed on Twitter that Leicester have pulled out of the race for Edouard.

The 23-year-old striker is expected to leave Parkhead this summer, and he was linked with a move to Arsenal and Leicester.

The Times reported earlier this month that the Foxes have beaten the Gunners in the race to sign Edouard who has been phenomenal for the Bhoys in the past few seasons.

However, Romano now claims that Leicester are not interested in signing Edouard. Rather, they are closing in on Paston Daka.

Several Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea have shown interest in Daka, but Leicester are close to signing him.

An official bid for the player has been accepted by RB Salzburg, and Leicester are planning to announce the signing by next week.

What about Edouard? 

Romano has added in a separate tweet that the Foxes are no longer interested in him.

The Frenchman has only 12 months left on his contract with Celtic, and Arsenal should now snap him up with a good offer.

Edouard has been simply superb for the Hoops over the past four years, registering 83 goals and 37 assists from 168 appearances in all competitions.

He struggled for consistency last season but still managed 22 goals and six assists from 40 games.

Leicester were ready to pay £15 million for his services, so Arsenal will have to submit an offer close to that region.

According to reports from Glasgow Live, Edouard is seriously considering staying with the Hoops next season.
