Celtic's interest in Adam Idah is intensifying as the club edges closer to an agreement with Norwich City.
Recent developments indicate that the valuations of both clubs are aligning, finally paving the way for a potential transfer.
Sources reveal that Celtic resumed negotiations on Wednesday, amid a flurry of activity involving other attacking players currently on Norwich's books, who have also attracted bids.
This ongoing situation has led to a complex but dynamic transfer window for the Scottish Premiership giants, who have signed goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo, plus midfielder Paulo Bernardo so far this summer.
But a striker to take the take the main goalscoring burden away from Kyogo Furuhashi has been Brendan Rodgers' key priority.

While discussions progress over Idah, who spent the second half of the 2023/24 campaign at Celtic Park, it appears the striker may have been less than pleased with the public scrutiny he faced from his Norwich City manager Johannes Hoff Thorup regarding his recent AWOL incident from the pre-season training camp in Austria.
Idah was subsequently left out for a friendly against Hoffenheim as a consequence of his actions.
Nonetheless as this saga drags on into August, Celtic remain more optimistic about finalising the deal, with expectations high that it will be completed sooner rather than later.
It’s believed the English Championship outfit have already began to turn their attention to potential replacements.
