Odsonne Edouard has been one of Palace’s most efficient attacking players this season; nevertheless, his time at the
club may be short, having voiced a desire to return to former club PSG at some point in the future.
The Frenchman spent seven years at PSG, rising through their youth ranks; while he made a few appearances for
their B team, he never played for the senior squad in a competitive setting. He wants to make things right, but he
needs to leave Selhurst Park for that to happen.
Before joining Palace, Edouard cut his teeth at Toulouse and Celtic – he joined the Eagles in 2021, making 74
appearances and scoring 16 Premier League goals since then. While he was prolific for France at youth level, he has
yet to win a senior cap for Les Bleus.
On potentially returning to PSG one day, Edouard mused: “I only have good memories of my selections with the
youth teams. We won the U17 Euros in 2017 with my PSG teammates Mamadou Doucouré, Alec Georgen, Lorenzo
Callegari and Jonathan Ikoné.
“I was the leading scorer in this competition [with 8 goals]. I’ve scored a lot of goals, especially with the Espoirs, so
the A’s are clearly in the back of my mind! I labor every day to provide myself with the wherewithal to travel there
someday.”Despite this, Edouard spoke favorably of Palace, saying, “I aim to be the greatest version of myself every
time I go on the pitch. My ambition is to make Selhurst Park’s supporters proud. I can aspire to play for one of
Europe’s premier teams if I do well. I want to be a striker who is well-known in European football. It is therefore
critical to have a successful season with the Eagles!”
