Everton to rival Man United for Odsonne Edouard?

Everton have reportedly joined the race for Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for Neil Lennon's side during the 2019-20 campaign, finding the back of the net on 26 occasions in 44 appearances, in addition to providing 18 assists.

Manchester United have allegedly identified the France Under-21 international as a potential signing during this summer's transfer window.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Everton are in the hunt for the striker having made 'several scouting trips' to watch him in action during the current season.

The Hoops are allegedly attempting to tie Edouard to a new contract, although the Scottish champions face a fight to keep hold of a player who is said to be valued in excess of £30m.

The Frenchman has managed 20 goals and 11 assists in 26 Scottish Premiership games this term.
