Odsonne Edouard, an amiable footballer with a definitive striker's edge, was born on 16 January 1998 in French Guiana. Alert Caucasian fathers in the east end of Glasgow cite a misinterpreted scare story about this far from innocuous French overseas department, particularly when girls declare their intentions to wed the lithe 6 feet 1 inch (1.87 m) figure. A proportion of his 13 stone (83 kg) frame is currently dashing up and down the turf at Leicester City, where his ensemble of a number 19 jersey has converted him into an indispensable chess piece on the board.

His market worth currently resides around the figure of £15.5m — a valuation derived from the hallowed digital halls of Transfermarkt. This digital palace of virtual purse string tightening has also informed the wider public that Edouard's contract with Leicester City is due to reach its expiry date on 30 June 2025, placing Leicester City and its palpitating purse strings in a conundrum with a 9-month deadline.

Edouard's trajectory to Leicester City's squad was far from a direct path. In July 2011, the Paris Saint-Germain academy was given the honour and responsibility of moulding his raw talents. His tenure there was punctuated by a loan stint with Toulouse in 2016, where he donned the violet jersey 16 times and netted one goal during his debut season (2016 - 2017).

In August of 2017, the lush green of Glasgow's east end beckoned. Celtic welcomed Edouard on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. His debut season with the Hoops saw him rack up 9 goals in 22 league appearances. Celtic liked what they saw, and in July of 2018, Edouard transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to the Scottish Champions for a fee of around £9 million. Over the following seasons, from 2017 to 2022, he netted 66 goals in 146 league appearances for the Hoops.

August 2021 saw Edouard depart our Scottish soil as he transferred to Crystal Palace in the south of London for a fee of around £14 million. Since then, up until 2024, he has made 93 league appearances for the Eagles, with his goal tally standing at 18.

August 2024 was the month when Edouard transferred from Crystal Palace to Leicester City, still in the clutches of the Premiership, but on loan. In the current 2024-2025 season, Odsonne has already worn the Leicester City jersey in three league matches.

Being a striker, Edouard's prowess has been put to the test in the crucible of the League Cup 2024-2025 for Leicester City, where he has already chalked up a starting appearance.
