Tony Docherty is set to strengthen his squad further this summer after with EPL giants Liverpool for the loan signing of youngster Billy Koumetio. The 21-year-old defender has featured for the French national side at under-18 level and the Dee are hopeful they can secure a deal ahead of the weekend clash with Hearts at Dens Park. Koumetio has previously had loan spells with Austria Vienna, Dunkerque and spent the second half of last season on loan in the English second tier with Blackburn Rovers, though he barely featured for John Eustace’s side. The Frenchman has been with Liverpool for four seasons, but has reportedly been told to find a new club, which has allowed Dundee to swoop.Celtic remain locked in talks with Norwich City after launching a second bid for Adam Idah. The Hoops have been desperate to bring the 23-year-old back to Celtic Park this summer after he scored nine goal in 19 games last season during an impressive loan spell. The club have already seen a £4million bid knocked back by the EFL Championship club, with Canaries boss Johannes Hoff Thorup seeing the Republic of Ireland striker as a part of his first team plans. However, with Idah thought to be keen on a move back to the Scottish Premiership, reports have circulated that the club launched an improved new £6million on Thursday. With the Scottish Champions keen to strike deal for the Irishman, it appears that the Carrow Road have their eye on a replacement for Idah already, after they emerged as one of the front runners to sign £8million rated striker Tom Cannon from Leicester City on loan. Should this move be successful, it would leave Norwich with four strikers to call on ahead of the EFL Championship campaign – and it could open the door for Idah to depart East Anglia.
