Paul Robinson believes Celtic will likely demand more than £20million for Odsonne Edouard amid reported interest from Crystal Palace.

Speaking to Football Insider, Robinson expects Celtic to turn down a potential £20million bid from Palace and force the Premier League side to pay a higher fee to secure his services.

It’s a decent figure but I expect Celtic will want more for him and if it’s something Palace are looking at, then they’ll have to pay a little bit more I think.

At least Robinson is showing that he understands the market slightly better than his former teammate Darren Bent, who believes Celtic would accept a ridiculously low fee of £20million for Eddy.

The Frenchman should be valued close to £30million as a minimum given his age and the form he has been in this season for club and country, and anything below that figure should not even be considered by Celtic.
