ARSENAL are considering a move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard – who could be a possible replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners captain will enter the final year of his contract in June with Manchester United and Barcelona believed to be keen on the 30-year-old.
However, Mikel Arteta is looking to add to his frontline regardless of what happens with the Gabon international.
And the Daily Mirror report Hoops forward Edouard is a name high on his list of targets.
The 22-year-old has caught the eye with 61 goals in 125 appearances for the Scottish champions since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in 2018.
Edouard, a French Under-21 international, had found the net 27 times this season until the campaign was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
That form has also attracted the attention of Leicester City and Everton, who could get involved in a £30million transfer tug-of-war with the North London club.
Despite speculation, the hitman recently hinted to Virgin Media Sport he was in no hurry to leave Parkhead.
He said: “It’s something incredible.
“When we go home after it’s been an unforgettable night and when we play at Celtic Park on a European night, I really enjoy the atmosphere.
“I really appreciate what the fans do and I hope it continues that way.”
Arsenal still have a decision to make on Aubameyang with no new contract extension looking likely.
The £50m-rated star will be able to leave for nothing in June 2021, which could force chiefs to try and cash-in this summer.
