Chelsea have identified Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard as a potential summer target, but fans are showing mixed feelings towards it.
Frank Lampard has already revealed he wants attacking reinforcements to provide competition for Tammy Abraham, with Lyon’s Moussa Dembele heavily rumoured to be a primary target.
According to 90min, after sending scouts to watch Edouard play in Scotland, the Blues have received positive reports on his quality.
Edouard was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur last month, and the report claims he was keen on securing a move to England.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has scored 23 goals for the Hoops this season, with three of them coming in European competition.
Many Chelsea supporters have sold their take on the speculation and it’s fair to say it’s received a mixed reception…
