Norwich City’s Sporting Director, Ben Knapper, made it clear at a recent fan meeting that the club is eager to retain the services of Adam Idah, despite strong interest from Celtic. The young striker has shown immense potential and made a significant impact during his loan spell with the Scottish side in the latter half of last season.
Expressing his admiration for Idah’s skills, Knapper emphasized the player’s outstanding goal-scoring record, impressive performance in the Championship, and international experience. The Sporting Director views Idah as a key player who embodies the qualities Norwich values in a team member.
Celtic has reportedly tabled a £6m offer, alongside potential add-ons, to secure Idah’s return. However, Norwich remains resolute in their stance to negotiate a deal that aligns with their valuation of the talented forward. The bargaining power seems to be shifting between the clubs as both sides aim to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
Aged 23, Idah showcased his ability to make an impact on the pitch by netting crucial goals, often coming off the bench as a super-sub for Celtic. His contribution played a significant role in the club’s success, culminating in a League and Cup double last season. Understandably, Celtic’s manager has prioritized keeping Idah in their squad for the upcoming campaign.
The speculation surrounding Idah’s future seems to have ignited the player’s own desire for a potential move back to Celtic, as hinted through his social media activity. With negotiations ongoing, it remains to be seen whether Idah will ultimately return to Celtic or stay with Norwich as the clubs navigate the intricacies of the transfer market.
