Hearts are set to kick-off the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership season against a reinvigorated Rangers side managed by Philippe Clement. The Gers have been busy in the transfer market, securing the signings of Jefte, Connor Barron, Liam Kelly, Clinton Nsiala, and Mohamed Diomande, with a potential move for Hamza Igamane on the horizon.
However, one player who may not feature in their season opener is English midfielder Todd Cantwell. The former Norwich City star is reportedly being allowed to leave Ibrox after two years, with Liverpool’s Jose Enrique mistakenly offering him to an Instagram fan page instead of Leece.
Cantwell, once considered a rising star in English football, has shown glimpses of his talent with seven goals in 30 appearances last season. Despite not being in Clement’s plans, Cantwell’s availability has caught the attention of Saudi side Al-Qadsiah.
Meanwhile, Norwich City have rebuffed a bid from Celtic for Adam Idah, who impressed on loan with the Hoops last season, scoring nine goals including a winner in the Scottish Cup final. The Republic of Ireland striker, a lifelong Celtic fan, is keen to stay at Parkhead, but Norwich see him as a key player in their promotion push to the Premier League under new boss Johannes Hoff Thorup.
Although Celtic remain interested in securing Idah permanently, it is uncertain whether they will make an improved offer in the near future.
