Adam Idah nears £7m Celtic exit but club prepare move for £8m-rated Danish International | OneFootball

Celtic are reportedly close to agreeing a deal to sell Adam Idah to Swansea City. The Irish striker missed Celtic’s opening penalty against Kairat, which ultimately contributed to the UCL exit.

However, it appears that a shock move could be in the offing as Championship side Swansea are negotiating a deal with Celtic over a £7m deal.

Idah was sensational in his loan spell in 2024, scoring nine vital goals that helped Celtic towards a Double. The striker found the net in the Scottish Cup Final with the game poised to go to extra time. On the back of this, Celtic secured a permanent deal for the player paying £9m to Norwich City.

Despite never hitting the heights of that loan spell, Idah still found the net on 20 occasions last season. The big forward man has struggled to cope with the pressure of being Celtic’s main striker since Kyogo left, resulting in Daizen Maeda coming through the middle and becoming the POTY in Scotland.

The deal has come out of the blue somewhat. Although, Sun Sport are reporting that Celtic are looking at ex-Ajax striker Kasper Dolberg as a replacement for Idah. The 27-year-old is set to be available by Anderlecht for a fee in the region of £8m.

With 55 caps to his name, Dolberg is certainly of a quality pedigree. The striker has netted five goals in eight appearances this season, continuing his fine form from last year in which he netted 24 goals.

There will be a frustration that Celtic have waited until the last stages of the window to get their business done. It will be a shame to see Idah go as he’s a young player with a lot of good attributes but it hasn’t fallen for him recently.
