CELTIC have broken their transfer record by completing the signing of Odsonne Edouard from PSG. 

The Frenchman, who spent last year on loan with the Scottish champions, has penned a four-year deal at Parkhead. 

A fee believed to be in the region of £9 million was handed to the French giants for his signature in the biggest move of Celtic's history.

The record was previously held by Chris Sutton and John Hartson, who sealed moves from Chelsea and Coventry respectively for £6 million in 2000 and 2001. 

"From the moment I walked into Celtic, the club has felt like home to me," said Edouard. 

"I have been made to feel so welcome by everyone at the club and our fans have given me such brilliant support.

“Celtic is one of the world’s great football clubs and I was desperate to make my move permanent. The scenes from May when we achieved such a historic Double Treble and made the city come alive are still very fresh in our memories.

“To see our fans so happy is the reason you play football and now we want to do everything we can to bring our great supporters even more success.”  

The 20-year-old impressed the Parkhead hierarchy during his season in Glasgow, in which he scored 11 goals in 29 appearances, and manager Brendan Rodgers was pleased to land him permanently. 

He said: “We are delighted to make such an important signing. Odsonne is one of the best young players I have worked with and one of the best in Europe.

"Our fans saw exactly what he is capable of last season and we look forward to working with him again as we look to build on the tremendous success we achieved last year. I am sure he will be a big player again for us this season.”
