Today, we talked about how Celtic is set to pay as much as £9.5m for the Republic of Ireland forward, potentially making this the most costly signing in the club’s history.

Norwich has accepted the deal after Celtic proposed an impressive £8.5m upfront, with an additional £1m in add-ons, pushing the total fee beyond what Brendan Rodgers spent on Odsonne Edouard in 2018.

With the summer-long transfer drama seemingly concluded, Chris Sutton has weighed in on Celtic’s decision to invest in the 23-year-old. Sutton praises the move as a ‘good decision’ by Celtic.

Sutton has been outspoken regarding Celtic’s extended summer talks with Norwich over Idah. Now that the transfer is officially finalized, the former Hoops star has taken to social media to share his opinion on the matter.

It appears to be a beneficial arrangement for everyone involved.

Adam Idah gets the move to Celtic he desired, having made his future intentions clear to Norwich earlier this summer.

Norwich is receiving a substantial sum for a player who was not part of their plans at the start of the year.

For Celtic, the investment in a promising player like Idah also signals a strong public endorsement of Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers expressed a clear desire to bring Idah on board at the end of last season. With Idah about to become a permanent fixture in the squad and potentially the club’s most expensive signing ever, the board is demonstrating their support for Rodgers, who led the team to a double last season.

As the transfer window approaches its September deadline, Celtic fans will be hoping for additional signings to be finalized swiftly in the coming weeks.
