A bizarre contract quirk regarding a Celtic hero has been revealed after his latest transfer move.
Odsonne Edouard moved to Leicester City on deadline day from Crystal Palace on a season-long loan basis. The Frenchman had moved to the Eagles from Celtic in 2021 but minutes were set to become limited for this Premier League campaign.
Steve Cooper’s Foxes have now moved to bring him into their squad as they look to establish themselves as a top table force in England again. There was a situation for Crystal Palace to consider though, with Edouard out of contract next summer. Now Alan Nixon has claimed “Leicester City loanee Odsonne Edouard signed a new deal at Crystal Palace before he left.” Not only did he pen a fresh deal with the club he was leaving, he signed a deal for the next THREE years, as it’s stated the “shock contract was sorted before the Frenchman moved to the Foxes but protects Palace next summer when he comes back.”
