Norwich reject Celtic bid for striker Idah

Norwich City have turned down a Celtic bid for Adam Idah understood to be around £4m to £5m.

The Republic of Ireland forward, 23, spent the second half of last season on loan with the Scottish champions, scoring nine goals in 19 appearances.

He netted the Glasgow club's last goal of the campaign, the late winner against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, which sealed a league and cup double.

Norwich told BBC Scotland that they are not actively trying to sell Idah and say new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup is excited to start working with him.

The English Championship club also believe his experience at Celtic could help push him up the pecking order for the season ahead.

Under contract at Carrow Road until 2028, Idah is expected back for pre-season training early next week, following international duty.

He scored in a 2-1 win over Hungary prior to Euro 2024 and also led the Irish attack in a 3-0 loss to Portugal.

Idah made his Norwich debut in 2019 and has scored 17 goals in 115 games.
