Odsonne Edouard, born in French Guiana on 16 January 1998, presently aged 27, parades his footballing prowess as a forward for Leicester City, primarily in the role of a striker. Standing 6ft 1in tall (1.87m) and tipping the scales at 13st (83kg), he can be spotted on the pitch donning the number 19 jersey. Transfermarkt pegs Edouard's current market value at around €10.00m, which equates to approximately £8.5m. His tenure at Leicester City is a matter of months, due to lapse on 30 June 2025.
Edouard began his professional journey in July 2011 with Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain. In August 2016, the French outfit shipped Edouard off to league counterparts Toulouse on a loan deal, where he marked his debut 2016 - 2017 season with 16 first team appearances and a solitary goal.
In August 2017, Edouard swapped the French capital for Glasgow, as he joined Celtic on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. Edouard's exploits in front of goal for The Bhoys were noteworthy. He enjoyed a sustained tenure with the Scottish giants, impinging the back of the net repeatedly across various seasons. He marked his debut 2017 - 2018 campaign with nine goals in 22 appearances. By his second season, his tally was up to 15 in 32, and by the third, a remarkable surge saw him netting 22 goals in 27 appearances for Celtic during the 2019 - 2020 season. His fourth season, 2020 - 2021, witnessed him scoring 18 goals in 31 league matches and in his final, somewhat curtailed, season with The Hoops, he scored twice in four appearances.
In truth, Celtics had already secured Edouard's permanent deal in July 2018, prising the forward from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee around the £9m mark. His notable goal scoring exploits for Celtic since his move cannot be underscored enough, especially in the 2019-2020 season with 22 goals. His last season at Paradise, 2021-2022, was rather short-lived as he had departed in August 2021.
Edouard traded the Scottish Premiership for English Premier League, joining Crystal Palace for a fee circling £14m. Over the course of his stint at Selhurst Park—spanning from 2021 to 2024—Edouard scored 18 goals in 93 league appearances. The 2024 - 2025 season saw him jet off to another locale yet again. Only four appearances in the shirt of Leicester City so far, but the number is bound to grow, as is Edouard's reputation. His participation in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Leicester City consists of one start and one appearance came off the bench.
