Odsonne Edouard, a striker for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, has been caught driving without a licence after accumulating five speeding offences in just two weeks. The footballer was photographed driving his Audi RS Q8 illegally, leading to the police seizing his car. Edouard was flagged by the police while driving through London with a French number plate and heavily tinted windows. Upon checking the car, the police discovered a list of speeding offences. When he was pulled over, Edouard could not present a licence or insurance. He recently appeared in court and was fined over £1,000, with points added to his licence. The police database showed that the car had accumulated five speeding offences in just two weeks. Edouard did not enter a plea or engage with the court but was found guilty of driving without a valid licence and insurance. He was given eight points, a £660 fine, and ordered to pay £100 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge. A lawyer for the player stated that Edouard was unaware of the court proceedings and that a legal challenge is now being planned. Crystal Palace declined to comment on the striker’s court case.
