On the day that they signed Kylian Mbappe on a ‘loan’ from Monaco with a £166m buy out clause Paris St Germain sent Odsonne Edouard on loan to Celtic.
As they go all out to win the Champions League it seems that strengthening one of their group rivals isn’t much of a consideration for the big spending French outfit.

On the day that he completed his move to Paris St Germain Mbappe came off the bench to score for France in a 4-0 win over Holland.
That win puts France three points clear of Sweden at the top of Group A with the Dutch now in fourth place and facing a struggle to claim a place in the Play-Offs.
A World Cup place won’t be in the plans of Edouard as he attempts to pick his career up at Celtic with Moussa Dembele providing the perfect example- as well as a significant obstacle to his first team hopes.
