The choice to permanently sign Adam Idah from Norwich City last summer has been questioned by John Hartson.
During his six-month loan at Parkhead the previous season, the Ireland international scored eight goals in 15 league games (all numbers courtesy of Fbref).
As a result, the Scottish powerhouses pursued a permanent move, and according to Sky Sports, an agreement worth £9.5 million was eventually reached.
Only two of the team’s first eight league games this season have seen the 23-year-old start, and he has also appeared on the bench four times.
Idah scored in one of his two Champions League games this season, but he only has one league goal to his credit.
John Hartson challenges Norwich City’s Celtic-3 deal with Adam Idah
Hartson is worried with Idah’s start to life at the club permanently and has questioned the £9 million paid to sign him from Norwich last summer.
He feels Celtic could have used that money more wisely, but he hasn’t been too critical of the player.
Hartson told Go Radio, “I have to be honest with you, I don’t know how many were on Celtic’s shopping list.”
However, they chose Adam Idah.
We were all impressed last season, but I don’t think we were all engrossed.
“I believe he made 19 appearances, several of which came off the bench. I’m happy that he scored the game-winning goal against Rangers in the cup final.

The two have performed admirably thus far in the 24/25 campaign, and as January draws nearer, transfer interest is probably going to increase.
He turned himself into a huge hero. He’s well-known. scored several important goals in the last stretch, by the way.
“He hasn’t gotten started right away.
The difficulty of removing Kyogo [Furuhashi] is one of the causes.
“There are moments when you feel like the manager isn’t using you this week as the starting number nine because you are the next man in and not the number one striker. This can make you feel insecure.”
“I believe that can occasionally undermine your self-confidence.
“I won’t be too critical of him, but I’m not sure who else Celtic had their sights set on the previous season. He was £9 million.
Many admirers may just respond “well.” “Is there a better one we could have?” He fared so well on loan, which is one of the reasons Celtic signed him.
“He appeared to be the obvious choice.”
Adam Idah’s time at Norwich City
According to Fbref.com, Adam Idah has goals and appearances in the Norwich City league.
Idah made his debut for the Canaries in August 2019 after breaking into senior football at Norwich and joining their academy system in 2017.
He was sent on loan to Celtic last January, though, since he was never able to establish himself as a major player at Carrow Road.
During his tenure with the club, he made 100 league appearances and scored 12 goals for the Norfolk team.
Idah’s Celtic contract is set to expire in the summer of 2029.
Brendan Rodgers of Celtic Norwich took advantage of Idah just in time.
Norwich did well to cash in on Idah last summer for such a fair cost because he was never able to establish himself as a vital member of the first team group.
Idah’s current troubles for playing time in Glasgow make that £9.5 million even more attractive.
It was hard to envision him reaching his full potential by remaining at Carrow Road, despite the fact that he is obviously a gifted forward with a lot of promise.
Last year’s loan at Celtic demonstrated his abilities, but since making the permanent move, Brendan Rodgers’ team hasn’t been able to get the most out of him.
