Celtic have rejected an enquiry from AS Monaco for Odsonne Edouard.

The respected French website, Get French Football, with 160,000 followers on Twitter revealed details of the interest this afternoon.

Edouard scored twice for Celtic in the 3-0 win over Ross County and is under contract until 2022.

Brendan Rodgers brought the young striker to Celtic on a season long loan in August 2017 with a £9m deal making the move permanent the following summer.

After arriving as third choice behind Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths the former PSG striker has been first choice for more than a year.

Celtic are likely to sell the 22-year-old before his contract expires in 2022 but entertaining any sort of offer this month could have devastating effects on the club’s trophy prospects.

This summer Celtic face a dilemma with Edouard expected to be in the French squad at the Olympics at the same time as his club side will be involved in European qualifiers.
