Édouard sets goal-scoring target as Leicester debut approaches

"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join this team and I am excited to begin this new chapter with my teammates," he expressed. "Our main goal is to secure victories and put some points on the board. Being a striker, I know that the team relies on me to score goals and I am determined to deliver. I will give it my all to contribute and support the team in any way I can."

"(Deadline day) was a very long day, so I’m happy to be here. As a striker, it’s exciting to see the ball a lot, to receive a lot of balls to play forward. I’m looking forward to this and I hope I can link up with the boys. 

The four-time Scottish champion is a huge fan of the club after three seasons acclimatising to English football with Palace in which he believes is enough to make an impact at the Foxes. 

"It’s three years that I’ve been here (in England) now, so I know the league," he added. "Now I hope I can bring my game to the team and, like I say, try to score a lot of goals. 

"It was always a difficult game. There were some nice games. I know Leicester very well because I used to follow them a lot. I have some friends who played there, it’s a team I like to watch. 

"I know virtually all the players because I like to watch football. I know plenty of the team already."
