Pundit says Arsenal and Leicester could sign transfer target for just £15 million
Former Celtic striker Andy Walker has claimed that Odsonne Edouard could be sold for as little as £15 million this summer.

‘Great performance’, ‘Very impressed’ – Some Celtic fans lavish praise on 21-yr-old after yesterday’s win
