The Frenchman’s Celtic contract expires in 2022 (Picture: Getty Images)John Barnes believes signing Odsonne Edouard from Celtic would be a ‘good move’ for both Arsenal and Leicester. Reports in March claimed Leicester were close to agreeing a £15million deal to sign Edouard and the Foxes are still thought to be the favourites to snap him up. Brendan Rodgers worked with Edouard during his time as Celtic boss, and while Barnes insists the forward would be a good signing for both Arsenal and Leicester, he feels he’d likely be a better fit at the King Power Stadium.

As much as Lacazette and Aubameyang are there and Lacazette is a number nine, Edouard gives you that physical presence.
