Celtic’s transfer activity appears to have picked up in the last 12 hours, with updates coming in fast and steady.While Sydney van Hooijdonk rumors have died down following Fabrizio Romano’s sudden upgrade, Celtic are turning their attention to 22-year-old Norwich striker Adam Idah.Ironically, for Celtic to continue with the Irish squad, the Norwich City striker had to walk through the door and after the Championship club signed van Hooijdonk.Now it appears the deal has been done, reporter Mark Hendry said, giving Celtic the green light to pursue Idaho.Moving to X, Hendry said: “Sydney van Hooijdonk has agreed terms with Norwich. The Canaries did not want to accept the loan of Adam Idah from Celtic until they had a solid replacement.”That’s settled now, so no more roadblocks.Yeah, like I said, the irony of this deal isn’t lost on me either. Since Idah is known to be desperate to join Celtic, going through with that deal should” no be too difficult.The Manchester United legend faces the best strikers in the world of his time.After watching Idahi’s performance in Norwich’s 3-0 away win at Watford in January 2022, Neville was seriously impressed with the youngster.After scoring the winning assist, Neville [Irish Independent] said: “If I was up against Teemu Pukki and Adam Idah, I wouldn’t feel like a defender.”Adam Idah Celtic striker?As TBR Celtic said earlier, Idaho’s goal scoring record this season isn’t the best, but how do his career goals stack up?The 22-year-old was highly rated by Norwich’s youth ranks and scored nine goals in 15 appearances in 2018 in his first season in the Premier League U18s.He was then promoted to Norwich’s reserve team and made six appearances in Premier League 2 (formerly known as the Professional Development League) but failed to score.Idah followed this up the following season with 12 goals in 19 appearances and quickly found his way into the Norwich first team.In 29 games, however, Idah managed to find the back of the net only once, and in 70 matches in the championship, the 22-year-old scored only 11 times.Idah has 41 career goals in 168 games so sounds like another project signing to me but if he signs for Celtic the fans will just have to see what he can do if and when he can replace Kyogo Furuhashi. [Transfermarkt]In other news, West Ham’s £15m player has just been tipped to join Celtic ahead of schedule.
