Aston Villa have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for in-demand Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard.

The 23-year-old striker has entered the final 18 months of his deal at Celtic Park and could be moved on this summer if the Scottish champions do not want to risk losing him for free next year.

A fee of £35m was previously thought to have been tagged on Edouard’s head, but given his current situation, the Hoops may reportedly be prepared to accept £20m in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Gunners have long been linked with a move for the France Under-21 international, but according to the Scottish Daily Mail, Aston Villa have also expressed an interest in the Celtic star.

Edouard has scored 20 goals in all competitions this season – including 16 times in the Scottish Premiership.
