Brendan Rodgers is on the verge of bringing the Ireland international back to the club on a long-term contract, for a fee that could end up being a record for the Scottish giants.
Sky Sports have claimed that the Bhoys have agreed to pay an initial, guaranteed, fee of £8.5m to the English Championship club, with a further £1m in add-ons, alongside a 15% sell-on clause for the Canaries.
If the Hoops end up paying out all of those add-ons then it would make Idah the most expensive signing in their history, overtaking the £9m itspent on Odsonne Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2018.
The 6 foot 3 marksman may not be the only forward to arrive from Norfolk before the end of the summer transfer window, though, as a new target has emerged for Celtic.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, the Scottish giants are the latest club to join the race to sign young Norwich winger Abu Kamara this summer.
The reporter claims that the Bhoys are one of the teams ‘monitoring’ the 21-year-old magician, as Rodgers eyes up further additions to his attack after the deal for Idah is completed.
Earlier this month, Football Insider reported that Premier League side Southampton were preparing an offer to sign the Engand U20 international, but there have not been any further developments on their interest since then.
The same outlet had claimed earlier in the summer that Belgian giants Anderlecht are also keen on a deal to land the former Portsmouth loanee, but added that – at that time – Norwich were ‘determined’ to keep hold of him.
Football Insider stated, however, that the Canaries would be forced to consider a ‘significant’ offer for his services, although it is unclear what they would deem to be a significant amount of money for him.
Therefore, it currently remains to be seen whether or not Kamara is a viable target or someone they would like as a priority signing this month.
However, the young English forward could be an exciting addition to Rodgers’ attacking options alongside Idah, who he has played alongside at youth and senior level.
