The Foxes believe they have won the race to sign the 23-year-old Celtic striker for around £15 million (Daily Mail).

And that would be a big blow for the Hammers.

West Ham boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium this summer.

One of the names to have been linked with the Hammers is Hoops ace Odsonne Edouard.

The Daily Star recently claims that West Ham are in the race to sign the 23-year-old striker.

And if Edouard does end up at the King Power Stadium, it will be a bitter pill to swallow for the Hammers.

The Celtic ace would have been a superb addition for West Ham.

The 23-year-old joined Celtic from Paris Saint-Germain for around £9 million in the summer of 2018. Edouard has gone on to rack up 81 goals and 35 assists in 160 games for the Hoops (Transfermarkt).

The former PSG ace is clearly a top talent.

And West Ham’s loss will undoubtedly be Leicester’s gain, if Rodgers does end up bringing Edouard to the King Power this summer.
