West Ham interested in Odsonne Edouard move

West Ham United are the latest club to be linked with a move for Celtic star Odsonne Edouard.

Plenty of sides across Europe have reportedly shown an interest in the French forward in recent months, including AC Milan, Arsenal, Juventus, Leicester City and Real Madrid.

ExWHUemployee, cited by Hammers News, has claimed that an agent has informed him of David Moyes’ keenness to land the 23-year-old.

Edouard is not the first Celtic ace in whom West Ham have expressed a desire to sign over the last six months, with the Irons also showing an interest in Olivier Ntcham last summer.

Talking on his Patreon site, ExWHUemployee said:

You might want to take this one with caution as it has come from an agent.

The agent in question though has been involved in trying to bring numerous targets to West Ham. The player in question is Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard.

Transfer expert Ian McGarry, cited by Hammers News, recently claimed that Edouard is not interested in a move to London to join the Hammers.

West Ham appear to be in the market for a replacement for Sebastien Haller after they sold the 26-year-old to Ajax earlier this month for £20m. If they firm up their reported interest in Edouard by using the funds received for Haller, the Hoops will have a big decision to make.

Celtic reportedly want around £25m this month for Edouard’s services, with the forward having just 18 months remaining on his deal. However, if the striker has no desire to make the move to the London Stadium, as mentioned by McGarry, then any possible deal with West Ham would be a non-starter.
