Brighton Now Favourites Ahead Of West Ham And Arsenal In Battle For 20M Rated French Marksman

West Ham could miss out on Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard with Brighton now expected to make a bid for the Frenchman, according to reports in the UK.

The Hammers, along with Arsenal and Southampton have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old but it appears the Seagulls could be the ones to make the first move.

Edouard has already been the subject of a bid from Leicester this summer, but the Foxes were unable to come to an agreement over an asking price, with Celtic said to be holding out for around £20m.

That is unlikely to be a problem for Brighton who will soon have a sizeable transfer budget once Ben White’s £50m move to Arsenal is finalised.

For West Ham, though, the search for a striker doesn’t look like it will end any time soon. While it is believed Edouard was not a priority target, he would have been a much cheaper option than Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham.
