Adam Idah says he "had no thoughts of leaving Celtic" until Swansea City made a move for the Republic of Ireland striker.
Idah, 24, joined the Welsh club on transfer deadline day, after 18 months in Glasgow.
He initially joined Celtic on loan from Norwich City and formalised that move last summer in a £9.5m deal. After 29 goals in 76 appearances, Idah headed to Swansea for a reported initial £6m.
"It was a crazy week," Idah told told BBC Sport NI after scoring Republic of Ireland's late equaliser in Saturday's 2-2 draw at home to Hungary.
"I had no thoughts of leaving Celtic, but Swansea came in. It was a good project for me to go down to the Championship and restart.
"I loved my time at Celtic, I had some amazing memories, but it was probably time for me to move on and have a fresh start."
