Adam Idah has stated that he feels more loved at Celtic than he did at Norwich City, although he cannot guarantee anything regarding his playing career.
In a 1-0 victory over Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday, the Irishman scored his team’s most recent goal in the ninetieth minute.
He had made nine appearances for the team overall since signing on loan during the January transfer window.
Celtic’s league and cup double triumph has been largely down to everyone’s contributions, which have won games and points when needed.
After seeing him defeat Rangers, Brendan Rodgers stated in a statement that, should the Celtic board and the Canaries be able to come to an agreement, he wants to sign the player to a long-term contract.
Idah was evasive in interviews when asked about a long-term move to the Bhoys, but that’s the nature of contemporary football. How the summer will turn out is a mystery to everyone.
At Celtic, Adam Idah senses the affection. It’s evident that the striker has been completely transformed by his loan stint, and compared to his struggles at Norwich, things are going well for him at the moment.
As Idah stated [Sunday Post, print edition, 26/05, page 68]: “I was probably not having fun playing football down south.” Being a scapegoat is difficult, and that’s what I went through.
This place has shown me such incredible kindness. This place is amazing to me. It was perhaps better than I had anticipated. This has had a significant impact on my career.
“The players, staff, and fans have all welcomed me and given me the confidence and belief to enjoy playing football once more. I’m glad I came up here. “Although I’ve been enjoying myself here, my contract is still with Norwich.
It is not my decision. Football operates in peculiar ways. I’ll take a little break now and monitor the situation.
Idah seems eager to commit to Celtic and leave the English Championship team, but he acknowledges that there are other considerations at work.
To begin with, Idah is committed to the Canaries through 2028, so they have some negotiating leverage.
Given that he is reportedly valued at more than £5 million, Celtic will need to put up a large financial commitment to sign him. Hopefully, it doesn’t become an ongoing summerlong saga.
Celtic must decide whether to pursue Idah or find other targets. Either way, Idah’s contributions to this twin triumph will be remembered with great affection.
