Romano on Edouard: Palace pulling off coup, Celtic do well

Edouard’s stats, in Scottish football or on the European scene, are excellent and certainly deserving of a chance to shine in the Premier League.

Landing the Frenchman, Patrick Vieira’s fellow countryman, is a a coup for Palace. Edouard has been linked with bigger clubs.

For a fee between £15.5million and £16.25million – as per Romano – Palace are getting a striker in Edouard that has enormous resale value.

A good season or two in the Premier League, in which he might reach double figures. Well, Edouard’s value will sky rocket.

It is a really good signing for Palace. But Celtic will be delighted to get north of £15million – given his contract situation. A good deal all around.
