Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah scored nine goals in 19 games during his loan spell at Celtic last season; Scottish Premiership champions have signed the striker in a permanent deal worth £9.5m from Norwich, with Idah agreeing a five-year contract.
Striker Adam Idah has revealed he found out about his £9.5m move from Norwich to Celtic on Sky Sports.
The Republic of Ireland international has signed a five-year contract at the Scottish Premiership champions following a successful loan spell last season.
Idah temporarily joined Brendan Rodgers’s side in February and scored nine goals in 19 games – including the “unbelievable” late winner in their Scottish Cup final against Rangers – as Celtic added to their league title success.
The 23-year-old had remained in a social media group chat with the Celtic players during weeks of negotiations between the clubs and speaking at Celtic Park said: “I was back and forth with a couple of them (players), but I didn’t really know what was going on myself.
“I said to my agents, you do the work and you just let me know when it’s done.
“I kind of actually found out on Sky Sports that it got done. It was just in my house, and my mum rang me.
“And about an hour after they (agents) rang me, saying it’s agreed – and I’d already seen it on TV. I’m just delighted to be here now.”
