Adam Idah’s return to Norwich did not go as planned, with his team suffering a 3-0 defeat to Club Brugge and him being substituted after just 30 minutes. Despite rumors of a return to Celtic, Norwich has yet to reveal their intentions. He traveled with the team to Belgium for preseason, leaving Celtic fans wondering if he would be heading to the USA instead to join Brendan Rodgers. Talks of a £4.5m deal are ongoing, with a potential move seeming likely in the near future.
The striker was seen training and starting in the XI under boss Johannes Hoff Thorup, but was quickly replaced in what Norwich claims was a planned substitution. Could this early exit be hinting at a flight to Glasgow? Only time will tell.
If Idah does make his way back to Celtic, Kasper Schmeichel is expected to follow suit. Talks of a move are in advanced stages, with Schmeichel set to take on the No.1 position from Joe Hart. Viljami Sinisalo, recently signed from Aston Villa, is expected to be Schmeichel’s backup and potential successor. Despite training in the USA with his new team, photos reveal him wearing the No.12 on his gear, suggesting the No.1 jersey is reserved for Schmeichel.
Updates from Denmark indicate that Schmeichel’s move is nearly final, pending the finalization of paperwork. The goalkeeper has reportedly passed his medical and is set to sign a one-year deal with the option for another season before joining his new team in the USA tomorrow.
