Norwich City have accepted a Celtic offer for striker Adam Idah.

The two clubs have finally reached agreement in a summer long saga, for a deal worth £8.5m, including guaranteed bonuses, plus a further £1m in potential add ons to take the Republic of Ireland striker back to Glasgow.

City are also believed to have negotiated a 15pc sell on fee for Idah, who was a hit on loan for Brendan Rodgers’ squad last season in landing a league and cup double during a six-month stint.

Idah is now expected to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms.

The Bhoys’ initial moves this summer were rejected out of hand, with City valuing the 23-year-old considerably higher than a reported £4.5m.

Idah was disciplined and sat out a friendly against Hoffenheim in Austria, after falling to fly out with the rest of Johannes Hoff Thorup’s squad.

But the Parkhead outfit returned to the table last week, and further talks have reached an agreement to end Idah’s seven year stint at Carrow Road.

The Cork-bred striker joined City as an academy scholar but came to prominence with a hat-trick on his FA Cup bow against Preston in 2020. A full Premier League debut came shortly after at Manchester United, but Idah was unable to establish himself as a first choice striker under a series of different head coaches.

The Irishman did sign a five year deal pledging his future to the Canaries last year, however Idah was believed to be frustrated at the lack of starts under David Wagner before a deadline night move to Celtic in January 2024.

Idah produced 11 goal contributions in 19 appearances on loan north of the border, including a late winner to beat Celtic's arch rivals Rangers at Hampden Park to land a Scottish FA Cup.

The striker is set depart Norfolk after 17 senior goals in 116 appearances, the last of those as a second half substitute in Saturday’s opening day 2-0 Championship defeat at Oxford United.
