The transfer activity at Celtic seems to be kicking up a notch over the past 12 hours as the updates come thick and fast.
With the Sydney van Hooijdonk rumours now being put to bed after Fabrizio Romano’s overnight update, Celtic now turn their attention toward 22-year-old Norwich striker, Adam Idah.
Ironically though, for Celtic to pursue the Republic of Ireland international, Norwich City had to get a striker in the door and after the Championship club secured a deal for van Hooijdonk.
Now that deal seems to be done, journalist, Mark Hendry, has said that has now given Celtic the green light to pursue Idah.
Taking to , Hendry said, “Sydney van Hooijdonk has agreed with Norwich. Canaries were unwilling to sanction Adam Idah Celtic loan until they got their replacement secured.
“That’s now sorted so no more roadblocks.
Yeah, like I said, the irony of this deal is not lost on me either. With Idah reportedly desperate to join Celtic, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get this deal over the line.
What Gary Neville has said about Adam Idah
If there was anyone you would want to listen to when it comes to facing strikers, Gary Neville would be the man to speak to.
The Manchester United legend has faced some of the world’s best strikers in his day.
After watching Idah’s performance in Norwich’s 3-0 away win at Watford on January 2022, Neville was left seriously impressed with the youngster.
After creating an assist in the win, Neville said [], “If I was up against Teemu Pukki and Adam Idah, I wouldn’t be comfortable as a defender.”
Adam Idah Celtic striker?
As TBR Celtic said earlier, Idah’s goalscoring record this season isn’t the best but how do his career goals stack up?
The 22-year-old was highly rated coming through the Norwich youth ranks and in his first season in the Premier League U18 league in 2018, he scored nine goals in 15 appearances.
He was then promoted to the Norwich reserve side and made six appearances in the Premier League 2 (formerly known as the Professional Development League) but failed to score.
Idah followed that up the following season with 12 goals in 19 appearances and found himself quickly promoted to the Norwich first team.
However, in 29 outings, Idah has managed to find the back of the net just once and in 70 appearances in the Championship, the 22-year-old has netted just 11 times.
With 41 career goals in 168 appearances, Idah does sound like another project signing to me but if he does sign for Celtic I guess the fans will just need to see what he can do if and when he can displace Kyogo Furuhashi. []
