Odsonne Édouard, born on 16 January 1998 in French Guiana, is a talented forward currently plying his trade for Leicester City. Towering at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing a sturdy 13st (83kg), Édouard has made a name for himself with his sharp shooting and predatory instincts in front of goal. He dons the number 19 jersey for his current team. His current market value hovers around €14.00m, which roughly equates to £12m, according to Transfermarkt. His contract with the Foxes is due to expire on 30 June 2025.
Édouard's professional journey began in July 2011 when he joined the Paris Saint-Germain youth system in France's Ligue 1. He then spent the 2016 - 2017 season on loan at Toulouse, where he made 16 appearances and scored once.
In August 2017, Édouard found a new home on loan at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. He immediately made an impact, making 22 appearances and notching nine goals in his debut season of 2017 - 2018. His successful stint earned him a permanent move to Celtic in July 2018 for about £9m.
During his tenure at Celtic, Édouard's star continued to rise. He had fruitful stints across several seasons, notably scoring 22 goals from 27 appearances in the 2019 - 2020 season, and 18 goals from 31 appearances in the 2020 - 2021 season. In total, he made an impressive 146 appearances for the hoops, scoring 65 goals.
In August 2021, Édouard transferred from Celtic to Crystal Palace for a reported fee of approximately £14m. He had a decent spell at Palace, scoring 18 goals across three seasons before moving to Leicester City on loan in August 2024. He has so far made four appearances for Leicester in the 2024 - 2025 season and has taken part in the League Cup for Leicester City with one start and one appearance as a substitute.
