Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira says Odsonne Edouard is in top form as the Celtic hero earns praise from his nation's legendary former midfielder.
The striker left Parkhead for London last summer but his first season was a transitional one that proved stop-start, netting six times in the Premier League. Edouard is now beginning to show why Palace wanted to bring him in from Celtic, despite having only netted twice in 10 matches so far this term. He also had two assists and his manager says his work with the likes of key attacker Wilfried Zaha has been pivotal in recent matches, including a 2-1 midweek win over Wolves.
His team take on Everton away from home at Goodison this afternoon and the Crystal Palace boss insists that confidence is high in the former PSG youngster. Vieira said of Edouard: “He is linking with the players around him.

"He is working really hard and he is scoring goals. I’m really pleased with his performances, yes. I am really pleased – [Edouard] is in a really good place at the moment.
"He is playing every game and playing with confidence."
Edouard joined Celtic from PSG in 2017, initially on a loan deal, before winning every trophy Scottish football has to offer while wearing the Hoops.
