Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has only played with Hoops attacker Odsonne Edouard for a few months. However, he already feels that the player will go on to have a great career in the game.
“There is no limit to what Odsonne can do, because his game is so complete” Jullien said, as reported by the Evening Times.
“He can do everything”
“He can do everything. He’s not slow, he can run, he can dribble, he can play with his head, he can come deep and play like a number 10, and his skills are unbelievable. The sky is the limit for him” Jullien concluded.
Jullien must be really impressed with his fellow Frenchman, for him to laud the striker with so much praise. To be fair, the comments are understandable as Edouard has been excellent for the Hoops since the start of the season. He really could go on to have an excellent career in the game.
However, the worry for Celtic is that Edouard will spend most of his great career away from Celtic Park. That will be what most Celtic fans and indeed, the club will expect. However, hopefully the club can persuade the player to stay for at least another 18 months at Celtic.
That would give Celtic enough time to scout and bed-in Edouard’s eventual replacement in the Hoops team. Also, it would ensure that Edouard is around to hopefully lead Celtic to 10 in a row.
On course to beat last season’s goal tally
Edouard had a great season for Celtic last year, scoring 22 goals. He looks on course to beat that total this season, having scored 13 goals already this season.
That sort of form, as well as his performances for the French under-21 side, will no doubt attract attention from clubs looking for a new striker. The player will no doubt get a move to another club sooner rather than later. However, as long as he helps Celtic win nine, then 10 in a row he will go the fans’ blessings.
