With his contributions since joining Celtic at the end of the winter transfer window, Adam Idah’s permanent move to Glasgow will be the main topic of discussion throughout the next few weeks.
In his 19 games, the Irish striker has scored nine goals, provided two assists, and been a key member of the team that won the domestic double. It is hard to think of a player who has had such an influence at a club.
Idah has been instrumental in the Hoops’ success this season, with Brendan Rodgers praising him for his clutch last-minute goals at Easter Road, Fir Park, and Hampden.
The 23-year-old has publicly expressed his passion for Celtic, and the manager hopes to sign him to a long-term contract.
Greg Taylor wants to finalize the deal, but CeltsAreHere revealed in April that it would cost the champions more than £6 million to sign the Cork native on a permanent basis.
When asked if he would be convincing the striker to stay, the left-back responded, “I certainly will be, definitely,” acknowledging how important the player has been to the team’s success in the second part of the campaign (RecordSport).
“He’s been amazing, and I’m incredibly proud of him for some pretty big contributions in games.
“We must keep in mind that he is still a young man. He had spent a lot of time at Norwich and had performed admirably, but this has given him a new beginning, and I have no doubt that he would be eager to stay.
“He has scored goals in various crucial situations, and since Adam entered the game, Kyogo has advanced even further.
“Adam has performed exceptionally well and achieved excellent goals, therefore the two of them have made significant, important contributions. I’m rather pleased with both of them.
“Idah is still quite young. It’s easy to overlook that simply because he is there. He has had a great time here, and I have no doubt that he would want to stay.
