Odssone Edouard is likely to be replaced at Celtic by Giorgos Giakoumakis

Odsonne Edouard is closing in on a 15m move from Celtic to Crystal Palace. They hope to sign Giorgos Giakoumakis of VVV-Venlo.

French striker Edouard (23 years old) is currently subject to a medical with Patrick Vieira, Premier League side. This will be held on Tuesday.

Giakoumakis, a Greece striker, was the top scorer in Eredivisie last season with 26 goals. VVVV-Venlo were relegated.

The 26-year old has scored one in six appearances for his nation.

France's Under-21 international Edouard scored 88 goals in 179 games since joining Celtic in 2017 from Paris St-Germain. He was initially on loan.

He moved to Glasgow in 2018 for a club record amount of over 8m. He has won three Scottish Premiership titles as well as four domestic cups with Celtic.

The summer transfer window closes on Tuesday, 23:00 BST in England, and one hour later in Scotland.
