Odsonne Edouard was born in French Guiana on the 16th of January 1998. The forward player, now 27, stands at a commanding height of 6 foot 1 inch (1.87m) and weighs 13 stone (83kg). He currently plays primarily as a striker for Crystal Palace, wearing the number 22 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, Edouard's current market value is around £8.5 million. His contract with Crystal Palace is set to expire on the 30th of June, 2025, with only two months remaining.
Edouard's career began in earnest in July 2011, when he joined Paris Saint-Germain in France's Ligue 1 as a trainee. Come August 2016, Edouard transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Toulouse, still in Ligue 1, on a loan deal. It was during his debut season at Toulouse (2016-2017) that Edouard made his first notable impact, scoring one goal across sixteen league appearances.
Edouard's career took a significant upward turn in August 2017, when he transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on loan. His time at Celtic was remarkable, scoring nine goals in twenty-two league appearances in his first season (2017-2018). This early promise preceded his standout seasons in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, where he made thirty-two and twenty-seven appearances, netting fifteen and twenty-two goals respectively.
After an impressive loan spell, Celtic signed Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain in July 2018 for around £9m. His performances continued to impress, scoring 18 goals in 31 league appearances in the season 2020-2021. His final season (2021-2022) at Celtic, he made four league appearances and scored two goals.
In August 2021, Edouard made a transfer from Celtic in the Scottish Premiership to Crystal Palace in England's Premier League for a fee amounting to approximately £14m. His debut season at Crystal Palace saw him score six goals across twenty-eight appearances. Following seasons were similarly fruitful, particularly his 2023-2024 campaign in which he scored seven goals in thirty appearances. The current season (2024-2025) sees Edouard with two league appearances for Palace.
In what might be the latest chapter of his career, August 2024 saw Edouard move from Crystal Palace on loan to Leicester City, also in the Premier League. As of the current season (2024-2025), he has made four first-team appearances for Leicester.
