AS Roma Live recently reported that the Hammers were leading the race to sign the 23-year-old Hoops ace.
It appears as though the Foxes are now in the front seat, however.
Brendan Rodgers is confident that Leicester will win the race to sign Edouard this summer according to a report from TEAMtalk.
And if the French hitman ends up at the King Power Stadium rather than the London Stadium, it will be a massive blow for David Moyes.
Leicester could beat West Ham to Odsonne Edouard
The 23-year-old would be an exceptional addition for the Hammers. So the Foxes’ gain would very much be our loss.
Edouard has racked up an impressive 82 goals and 37 assists in 166 games for Celtic (Transfermarkt).
The Hoops could sell Edouard for just £15 million this summer according to a report from the Daily Mail.
That seems like very decent value for a striker who could easily go on to become one of the very best around.
