Celtic secures deal with Adam Idah

Celtic Football Club has reached an agreement with Norwich City for the permanent transfer of striker Adam Idah, valued at up to £9.5 million. The deal, which includes an initial fee of £8.5 million, marks one of the largest expenditures in the club's history, second only to the £9 million spent on Odsonne Edouard in 2018. The transfer fee could increase by an additional £1 million based on performance-related incentives. Idah, who previously showcased his talent during a loan spell at Celtic last season, played a pivotal role in the team's success, scoring nine goals in the latter half of the campaign. His contributions were instrumental in helping Celtic secure their position in the league. The club's management, led by Brendan Rodgers, has expressed satisfaction in finalizing the deal after a series of negotiations. Celtic's initial offer of £4.5 million was rejected by Norwich, who were reportedly seeking around £12 million for the young striker. The protracted discussions highlight the competitive nature of the transfer market, as clubs strive to secure valuable players while negotiating terms that reflect their worth. With Idah now officially returning to Celtic on a permanent basis, fans and management alike are optimistic about his potential impact in the upcoming season. The club aims to build on last season's success, and Idah's return is seen as a significant step in strengthening their squad.
