When Adam Idah’s late goal secured Celtic’s victory in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would make a permanent return to the club. The Republic of Ireland striker’s impressive performance, scoring nine goals in 19 games, was crucial in helping the Bhoys achieve success in the league and cup.
Brendan Rodgers praised Idah as a ‘catalyst’ for the team and expressed his desire to see him back in green and white for the upcoming season. However, negotiations with Norwich, who are holding firm on Idah’s contract, have hit a roadblock. The club has already rejected a bid from Celtic, complicating the potential transfer.
Despite the uncertainty, former player Chris Sutton remains optimistic that a deal will be reached. He believes that Celtic have confidence in securing Idah’s return and that the striker will seamlessly integrate back into the squad. However, the longer the negotiations drag on, the greater the risk of missing out on other striking options in the transfer market.
It is crucial for Celtic to make a final push to secure Idah with a tempting offer to Norwich. If the deal falls through, they must be prepared to explore other alternatives to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. Time is of the essence, and the Scottish champions cannot afford to wait indefinitely for Idah’s return.
