There has clearly been a positive reaction to this news update. Considering how many goals Edouard contributed to this season, Hoops fans should be relieved that he might be staying at Parkhead.
The Frenchman was the top scorer in the Premiership in the 2019/20 season and contributed to 25% of Celtic’s total goals (via WhoScored). This shows how important he is for the Hoops and it also proves how crucial he can be to help the club win a 10th Premiership title in a row next season.
