Born on 16 January 1998 in French Guiana, the forward known as Odsonne Edouard, has, for the bulk of his career, been a force that frontline defences have wrestled to control. Plying his trade as a striker for Lens, the lad stands tall at 6ft 1in (1.87m) with a weight to match his sturdy form, coming in at 13st (83kg).

As of present, Edouard has seen his market value hover around the £7m mark, according to Transfermarkt.

Edouard embarked on his professional career in the grips of Paris Saint-Germain, joining as a trainee in Ligue 1 back in July 2011. His tenure there wasn't uninterrupted in his early years; he was loaned off to Toulouse, another Ligue 1 club in August 2016. The season of 2016-17 saw him make 16 appearances for the team as a first-timer, where he gave a hint of his budding prowess by netting a goal.

In August 2017, Celtic in the Scottish Premiership secured a loan deal for Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain. Here, before he formally transferred to Celtic in July 2018 for around £9m, Edouard left an impressionstill remembered at the club. Over various seasons (2017-2022), his tally clocked up to 138 first team appearances and a commendable scoring record of 66 goals. Indeed, during the 2019-20 season, he reached a pinnacle in his career, scoring 22 goals in just 27 appearances.

Upon his exit from Celtic, Edouard found himself in England's top-flight league with Crystal Palace in August 2021 for a fee estimated at £14m. Over several seasons, he made 96 first team appearances and contributed 18 goals for the team. Amidst his time there, he was loaned to Leicester City in the Championship in August 2024, although his stint, from all accounts, was rather uneventful.

In the present season of 2025 - 2026, Edouard headed back to his roots, transferring to Lens in the French Ligue 1 in September 2025 for an undisclosed fee. His story in Lens is still being written, and football enthusiasts everywhere are holding their breath to see how he will seize his time there.
