• EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey

HITC understands that Celtic have made a big breakthrough in their pursuit of Norwich City forward Adam Idah.

We had reported last week that Celtic were confident they would sign Adam Idah after the forward had made it clear he wanted the move to Glasgow.

Idah has struggled with injury problems throughout his time at Norwich City and the 23-year-old spent a period on loan at Celtic and it appears that the forward is keen on returning to Scotland this summer.

HITC now understands that a breakthrough has been made between the two sides which would see Idah return to Celtic this summer.

Celtic agree Adam Idah terms with Norwich City

Celtic have finally come to an agreement with Norwich over long-term target Idah, HITC sources have confirmed.

HITC revealed last week that Celtic were confident of a deal after making a second offer worth £6 million now they have returned with a third bid worth around £8.5 million.

As mentioned, the Irishman was always keen on returning to Celtic and it now appears a deal has been struck for the 23-year-old to complete his move to the Scottish Premiership champions.

Former Celtic player Chris Sutton believes that Celtic need more than just Idah but a deal for the Irishman is now fully agreed.

Sutton also claimed that the saga for Idah was dragging on too much but a deal has now been agreed and the Irishman is free to travel to Scotland for a medical.

When Idah will have Celtic medical

Before a deal for Idah is ratified, the Irishman will need to pass a medical before his move to the Scottish Champions can be completed.

HITC understands that Idah is expected in Scotland within the next 48 hours to undergo his medical before the deal will be officially completed.

Rodgers will now get his man who will be a key addition to the Celtic team this summer as the club look to retain the league title.

After the Scottish Cup final victory over Rangers, where Idah played a key role in the victory, Rodgers described the forward as ‘absolutely immense’ when speaking to STV.
