Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly ready to battle it out for the signature of Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, who is out of contract in 2022.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to rival Arsenal for the signature of Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.

The 23-year-old boasts a remarkable tally of 20 goals and five assists in 34 games for John Kennedy's side this term, but his prolific strike rate has not been enough to stop Rangers from storming to the Scottish Premiership title.

With the striker's contract due to expire at the end of next season, there is a growing feeling that he will end up leaving the club this summer in order to avoid the possibility of Celtic losing him for nothing in 2022.

Arsenal continue to be heavily linked with a move amid uncertainty surrounding three of their strikers in Eddie Nketiah, Folarin Balogun and Alexandre Lacazette, but according to the Transfer Window Podcast, Liverpool are also keen.

Jurgen Klopp could supposedly be in the market for more attacking reinforcements this summer, with Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri two players who are understood to be on the transfer list for the upcoming window.

Edouard provided the assist for Mohamed Elyounoussi's opener in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rangers, and he has amassed 81 goals in 162 appearances for the club since arriving in 2017.
