Celtic’s pursuit of Adam Idah continues to be a hot topic of discussion, with ongoing talks regarding a potential transfer switch for the talented striker. Football Scotland recently revealed that Celtic had a bid of £4 million plus add-ons rejected by Norwich just over a week ago, as the Canaries made it clear that they were not willing to part ways with the Irishman. Despite this setback, new Celtic manager Johannes Hoff Thorup is still keen on bringing Idah to Celtic Park and has expressed his excitement about working with the 23-year-old forward.
Idah’s successful loan spell at Celtic, during which he scored nine goals, has only added to the club’s determination to secure his services. While further negotiations have taken place between the two clubs, Norwich is holding out for a significantly higher fee in any potential deal. Despite the ongoing discussions, Celtic has yet to officially make a second bid for Idah.
The strong interest in Idah from Celtic is also shared by former manager Brendan Rodgers, who has openly stated his desire to retain the player. With the impending departures of Rocco Vata to Watford and Oh to Genk, the need for additional attacking options has become more urgent for Celtic. As the team prepares to travel to the USA for pre-season matches against the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea, Kyogo could find himself as the sole natural striker in the squad unless a deal for Idah can be successfully negotiated.
