Adam Idah started once again for Norwich City over the weekend, contributing an assist in their 1-1 draw with Standard Liege. This marks the Irishman’s second consecutive start under new Canaries’ manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, who appears to see Idah as integral to his plans for the upcoming season.
“Like we said from day one, he’s a vital part of the group and of the squad here,” Thorup commented (Football Scotland). “Adam’s working hard in training, a good guy with good energy. He’s really doing well and I hope it’s obvious for him and everyone that he will play a vital part for this team.”
Despite Thorup’s affirmations, Celtic remains keen on bringing Idah back to Glasgow. His impactful loan spell last season, where he scored several crucial goals, left a lasting impression on the Bhoys.
Manager Brendan Rodgers openly expressed his desire to sign the 23-year-old permanently at the end of last term. However, there has been little progress on that front.
Reports have been mixed regarding the Scottish champions’ pursuit of Idah, with some suggesting a deal is imminent, though none have materialised.
While there is still ample time left in the transfer window for a potential agreement, Celtic seems to be stalling, much to the frustration of their supporters.
