Celtic fans continue to wait patiently for the announcement of Adam Idah’s permanent move to Glasgow. The 23-year-old goalscorer enjoyed a loan spell with the Hoops for the second half of last season and they have been working hard behind the scenes to sign him full-time since.

According to the latest news on the transfer saga, Norwich City have now finally agreed to sell Idah to Celtic, subject to his medical. The Hoops had previously placed a bid in the region of £4-5 million back in July, but their efforts were rejected.

Fortunately for the fans, Celtic did not give up and have now reached an agreement with the Canaries. Here’s what we know so far amid Idah’s pending Parkhead arrival.

The price Celtic will fork out for Idah could rise to as much as £9.5 million as he waits to become the second outfield signing of the summer for Brendan Rodgers. During his loan spell in Scotland, the 23-year-old contributed eight goals and two assists.

Idah was hit with disciplinary measures at Carrow Road after he was absent for Norwich’s pre-season flight to Germany. Canaries manager Johannes Hoff Thorup believed that the speculation over his move to Celtic had a part to play in him missing the clash with Hoffenheim.

While the more intricate details of Celtic’s deal with Norwich have not been revealed, we can take a guess at what the forward will be earning at Parkhead. Salary Sport has Idah down as earning £1.19 million per year in the EFL Championship, which breaks down to a wage of £23,000 per week.
