Crystal Palace’s Odsonne Edouard has joined Leicester City on a season-long loan.
The Frenchman was made available after Crystal Palace lined up the addition of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal.
Following the addition of Nketiah, Edouard would have been Palace's fourth-choice striker for Oliver Glasner, with Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaila Sarr, and the former England U21 Captain favoured over the 26-year-old.
Edouard joined Crystal Palace from Celtic in 2021 for £14 million, signing a four-year deal.
The striker began life at Selhurst Park in sublime fashion - scoring a 6-minute brace off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the forward struggled for consistency in red and blue, finding the back of the net 21 times in 103 appearances.
Before Edouard headed out on loan, Crystal Palace exercised their option to extend the Frenchman's contract by a further year, with his new deal running until 2026.
Arriving at Steve Cooper’s Leicester, Edouard becomes the second Palace player to join the Foxes this summer alongside Jordan Ayew - who joined the newly promoted side for £10 million last week.
