Norwich City’s Adam Idah is ‘very keen’ to make his loan move at Celtic permanent, according to Football Insider.
The Republic of Ireland international joined the Glasgow giants on loan during the winter transfer window, making 10 regular season appearances and scoring seven goals.
His parent club have, according to the report, quoted Celtic £5 million for the 23-year-old forward whose contract at Carrow Road runs until the summer of 2028. The Hoops currently sit three points ahead of arch-rivals Rangers in the race for the Scottish Premiership title. Winning the title will will open the gates to European football and Idah, a 24-capinternational, wants to play in the Champions League next season.
Despite not being a regular starter, the loanee has impacted the title race with vital goals against Hibernian, Motherwell and Rangers. It is now reported that all parties want to make the move happen when the transfer window opens in the summer.
Idah has only completed 90 minutes on two occasions in the Premiership since his temporary switch, having to make do with being back up to Kyogo Furuhashi but has featured in all of Celtic’s matches.
A Norwich youth product, Idah has played 115 times for the Norfolk outfit, even appearing 28 times in their last season in English football’s top flight. The Cork-born striker broke into the Norwich first team during the 2019-20 season but has found his minutes limited at Carrow Road and now looks set to end his association with the club.

Idah has been long touted as a hot prospect at Carrow Road but his career hasn’t taken off in the way he would have hoped.
A move to Celtic and a chance to challenge for honours every season as well as playing in Europe will only benefit the young forward, particularly as he looks to add to his international caps.
