Crystal Palace striker Edouard: I learned so much from these 2 PSG stars

Crystal Palace striker Odsonne Edouard has found his feet at the club in his third season.

The former Celtic attacker has not always been the most prolific in the Premier League.

However, he is excited about gelling with his teammates and being confident in front of goal again.

On confidence, he stated to Palace media: “It's big, especially during the game, because you score one, you score the second and so the next time you're on the ball you want to shoot because you're on fire! I like this – it's good for the confidence.

“[At Paris Saint-Germain] it was [Zlatan] Ibrahimović and [Edinson] Cavani. I think for a young player, it is perfect to learn with some great strikers. To watch every day, take some words from them, to look at what they do. You just have to look and try to do the same.

“I learned from watching them, mostly, and after we spoke a little bit, when we finished at the end of the training. They gave me some advice about how to make the run, how to finish, how to adjust the shot. Small things but for young players, it is a lot."
