The 21-year-old only made the switch to Parkhead last summer but it would appear that his impact has been significant enough that Brendan Rodgers has opted to spend what is sure to be a huge bulk of his summer transfer kitty on the former French under-19 International.
The 6ft 1in colossus (source: Tranfermarkt) made a total of 29 appearances last season, scoring 11 goals and four assists.
Supporters were jumping with joy on Twitter as they showed their happiness about the news with images of dancers, while one even predicted that Edouard’s signing would catapult the Hoops to title number ten, as they look to surpass their Old Firm rivals Rangers, who completed a nine in a row feat back in the 90s.
Here is a selection of reactions on social media from supporters of the Hoops you are clearly thrilled to hear the news that the transfer is complete:
