Medical in London for Idah
Norwich City’s Adam Idah is poised to complete his move to Celtic, with a medical scheduled in London on Tuesday afternoon. This follows a successful loan period at the Scottish club, where the striker made a significant impact.
£9.5m Deal Agreed Between Clubs
After negotiations, Celtic and Norwich have agreed on a transfer fee of £8.5 million, plus an additional £1 million in potential add-ons. This deal will see the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international make a permanent move to the Scottish Champions.
Impressive Loan Performance
Idah’s stint at Celtic during the latter half of the previous season proved to be his most productive period as a professional, netting nine goals in 19 outings. His performance has clearly made an impression, leading to this permanent transfer.
Celtic Seeking Striking Support
The urgency to secure another striker has been high on Celtic’s agenda, with Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi currently the sole senior option in the team’s attacking line-up. Idah’s return is expected to bolster the team’s offensive capabilities.
Brendan Rodgers’ Influence
Celtic’s manager Brendan Rodgers has been instrumental in the push to bring Idah back to Celtic Park. Rodgers’ interest in the player was first reported earlier in August and appears to have been a decisive factor in the transfer.
Idah’s Career Trajectory
Despite a less prolific goal-scoring record at Norwich City, with 17 goals in 115 appearances, Idah showed promise in his earlier years at the club’s youth level. Celtic will be hoping he can recapture and exceed that form as they aim to defend their Scottish Premier League title.
Celtic Secures Top Target
Assuming no last-minute issues arise, Celtic will have successfully landed their primary transfer target in Idah, a move that could prove crucial in their campaign to remain at the pinnacle of Scottish football.
