Arsenal continue to track Odsonne Edouard

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is reportedly on Arsenal’s transfer radar.

That’s according to Football London, who claim that the Gunners have the Frenchman and RB Salzburg’s Patson Daka on their attacking wishlist, both of who netted 27 times last season (Edouard and Daka, via Transfermarkt).

The report claims that Arsenal saw Edouard as a serious option earlier this year and remains on their radar.

Stories over the summer suggested that the Gunners made two offers for the Celtic man, however, Edouard remained at Celtic Park past the deadline.

The Gunners clearly have a long-standing interest in Edouard, and it appears as if they could make another move for the forward over the coming months.

Club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang recently signed a new three-year contract at the Emirates, so we feel Mikel Arteta may be looking to replace Alexandre Lacazette with his fellow countryman.

Arteta recently admitted that the club hasn’t opened fresh contract talks with Lacazette, who is valued at £43.2million by Transfermarkt.

Lacazette, now 29, was linked with moves to Atletico Madrid and Juventus this summer but remained at the Emirates and you’d expect that Arsenal would have to make room for Edouard in their attacking ranks, should they pursue a move for the Hoops star.

Arteta could be thinking about the long-term project, so selling Lacazette to fund a move for Edouard may well be in his thinking.
