Swansea City Close in on €8.4M Deal for Celtic Striker Adam Idah
Championship outfit Swansea City are on the verge of completing a major signing, with reports confirming that they have agreed a fee of €8.4 million to secure Celtic striker Adam Idah. The Welsh club are said to be in the final stages of negotiations as they look to add firepower to their squad before the transfer window closes.
The 24-year-old forward, who joined Celtic from Norwich City and showed flashes of promise in the Scottish Premiership, has endured a difficult start to the current season. Idah has featured in four matches for Brendan Rodgers’ side so far but has yet to register a goal, raising questions about his role in the first-team setup.
Swansea, who have struggled for consistency in front of goal this term, view Idah as the ideal addition to bolster their attacking options. Manager Luke Williams is eager to bring in a striker capable of leading the line, and the Irish international’s pace and physical presence are thought to fit the profile the Swans have been targeting.
Negotiations between the two clubs progressed swiftly this week, and insiders suggest that a deal is now “all but done,” pending the completion of personal terms and a medical. Should the move go through, Idah would become one of Swansea’s most expensive signings in recent seasons, underlining the club’s intent to push for a stronger finish in the Championship.
For Celtic, the sale provides a significant cash injection of over €8 million, which Rodgers could reinvest into strengthening other areas of his squad before the deadline. The decision to cash in on Idah comes after a summer in which Celtic have been balancing ambition in Europe with domestic dominance.
Idah, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at senior level, will be hoping the move to South Wales offers him the chance to reignite his career and rediscover the form that once made him a standout prospect at Norwich City.
If completed in the coming days, this transfer could prove to be one of the most eye-catching moves in the Championship window.
