‘I Want To Be The BEST STRIKER In The World’- Man United Target Speaks Out


Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard has revealed that his ambition is to eventually rank amongst the best strikers in the world as rumours continue to link the former Paris Saint-Germain attacker to the Premier League and Europe’s elite.


Edouard shone immediately in Glasgow after originally sealing a loan move from PSG, with the Scottish champions opting to make that deal permanent ahead of the 2018-19 season.

The hitman’s good form has continued into this term, scoring a more-than-respectable tally of 19 goals in 22 top-flight matches, as well as racking up nine assists for his Bhoys team-mates in the process.

Playing with such poise has naturally drawn links to bigger clubs, with Manchester United and Chelsea amongst the names mentioned as rumours continue to swirl.

And while a call-up to the French national team has also been touted, the forward admits that he has only one clear goal in his mind as he prefers more to live in the moment.

“I would like to become the best striker in the world,” Edouard said upon receiving the Scottish Premiership’s player of the month award. “One of the best strikers anyway. I don’t know when that will happen. I live day to day and I enjoy my life. We will see in time.”

“There are a lot of strikers I like. I don’t have one specific striker at the moment that I admire the most, but Ronaldo – the Brazilian one – is the best.

In the present moment I watch a lot of different strikers and I try to learn from them. I’m still young so I’m training a lot and every year I become more mature as a player. I work hard on all aspects of my game all the time, so everything is improving.

'I Tried My Best' - Arsenal Boss Arteta Believes He Did All He Could To Include Axed Ozil

The 32-year-old did not feature for the Gunners after lockdown and was subsequently omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League squad. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes he did all he could to give Mesut Ozil a fair shot before he axed the German from his squad.  Ozil's name was not among Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad that was released earlier this month, which followed the playmaker's exclusion from Arsenal's Europa League squad. As the 32-year-old enters the final months of his contract with the Gunners, it now appears likely that he has played his final game for the team. Ozil did play a part for Arsenal last season, at one point starting 10 consecutive Premier League games for the Gunners before the coronavirus lockdown in March. The playmaker did not make a single appearance for Arsenal after lockdown, however, but Arteta has still insisted he gave Ozil every chance to impress before he was omitted from his team. "What I can tell you that I

Arsenal's £72m Enigma: Arteta Right To Demand More From Mercurial Pepe

The Gunners' record signing may have scored his third goal of the season on Thursday night but his manager wants consistency across 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s answer was clear when asked what Nicolas Pepe needed to show in order to earn himself a regular starting spot in Arsenal's Premier League team. “Consistency,” said the Arsenal boss, when quizzed on the Gunners’ record signing, following Thursday’s night’s 4-1 Europa League win against Molde at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game that perfectly encapsulated the enigma that is Pepe. The £72 million ($95m) man was infuriating at times - especially in the first half - but just as he had done against Dundalk a week earlier, he popped up with an excellent goal. He also went on to add an assist for Joe Willock, a late strike which sealed a comfortable victory for Arteta’s side and all but booked Arsenal’s passage into the knockout stages. It was a classic Pepe performance and more evidence of why he remains such a puzzle in nort

Should Arsenal Sell Eddie Nketiah To West Ham

 Once he hit the U18s he was known as a prolific goalscorer, and was quickly promoted to the U23s, where he carried on scoring despite his age, and Arsene Wenger introduced him to the senior side. Fans started to take notice when he came on as a sub in a League Cup game against Norwich and scored both goals and we were excited for his future. But that promise has never quite materialised. Eddie has continued to be prolific against Smaller sides (i.e. League Cup, Europa League and England U21 qualifiers) but in the League he has managed just 4 goals in 33 appearances, although mostly off the bench. The superstriker never seems to emerge, but I guess we have to remember he is still only 21 and has rarely had a run in the senior side, but I don’t think fans are as excited about him displacing Aubameyang or Lacazette any more. So, the rumours today are that West Ham are considering making an offer for Eddie, after selling Hillier to Ajax for 20m, and we could probably do with selling a few
