After a stellar loan spell at Celtic last season, which saw Adam Idah score eight league goals in just 15 appearances, the Irish international has officially joined the Scottish club on a permanent basis. The Hoops secured the striker’s services for £8.5 million, with an additional £1 million potentially coming in add-ons, solidifying their faith in his abilities and potential impact on the team.
Despite the excitement surrounding Idah’s return to Celtic, speculation has already emerged regarding his future beyond the green and white stripes. Norwich manager Johannes Hoff Thorup believes that the 23-year-old’s attributes make him a natural fit for a return to the Premier League, where he previously showcased his goal-scoring prowess.
While initially keen on retaining Idah at Carrow Road, Norwich ultimately agreed to a deal that includes a 15% sell-on clause, ensuring they could benefit from his success at Celtic. Speaking about the transfer, Thorup acknowledged that the move to Celtic was beneficial for all parties involved, highlighting the happiness of both the player and those around him.
Manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his delight at securing Idah’s long-term commitment to Celtic, praising the striker’s quality and potential to make a significant difference to the team. Rodgers credited Idah’s crucial role in the club’s success last season and emphasized his belief in the player’s dynamic, hungry, and committed nature on the pitch.
After signing the deal, Adam Idah revealed his immense happiness at returning to Celtic, acknowledging the strong bond he felt with the club and its supporters during his loan spell. The striker’s desire to reunite with his teammates, experience the incredible atmosphere of Parkhead once more, and continue his goal-scoring exploits all played a part in his decision to make the move permanent.
As Idah looks forward to making his second debut for Celtic in their upcoming League Cup clash against Hibernian, fans are eagerly anticipating the impact he will have on the team moving forward. With his impressive track record and the support of the club and its supporters behind him, Adam Idah’s future at Celtic looks bright and full of potential.
