Chris Sutton is growing concerned that Adam Idah may be moving beyond Celtic’s financial reach. Once seen as a budding talent with potential but still rough around the edges, Idah has since acquired a Scottish Cup victory and made a mark on the international stage with a goal against a team set to compete in the European Championships.

The recent managerial changes at Norwich City have added complexity to the situation. Fans of Celtic are eager to witness Idah’s growth under Brendan Rodgers’s guidance. However, with the player’s value increasing and uncertainties arising from the new setting at Norwich, the path forward remains unclear.

In discussions about Celtic’s possibilities, Sutton draws parallels to Odsonne Edouard’s £9m signing in 2018. Idah, with his recent loan success and impressive performances, now commands a higher price. Norwich’s new manager, Johannes Hoff Thorup, intends to assess Idah during the pre-season. Regardless of Thorup’s decision, securing Idah’s services won’t be a bargain, even if the player desires a move back to Celtic.

Given the anticipated delay in resolving the situation, Celtic must weigh their options carefully—whether to pursue alternative strikers or await a potential agreement with Idah.
