Arsenal may have just received a massive boost in their bid to sign Odsonne Edouard from Celtic this summer.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed on Twitter that Leicester have pulled out of the race for the striker.

The 23-year-old is expected to leave Parkhead this summer and was linked with a move to Arsenal and Leicester.

The Times reported earlier this month that the Foxes had beaten the Gunners in the race to sign Edouard, who has been phenomenal for the Bhoys in the past few seasons.

However, Romano now claims that Leicester are not interested in signing Edouard but are closing in on Paston Daka.

Patson Daka is set to join Leicester, done deal. The official proposal has been accepted by RB Salzburg board today and #LCFC are planning to announce the new signing next week. Here we go soon!
