Deal Agreed: Anthony Joseph’s 12.20 Celtic Transfer Update
Adam Idah appears to be a medical away from joining Celtic on loan.
News broke last night of Celtic’s interest in the Norwich striker with Sydney van Hooijdonk about to go to Carrow Road on loan.
That deal would push Adah further down the pecking order with Norwich, if his medical is successfully completed the 22-year-old could join Celtic in training tomorrow and be in the squad to face Aberdeen on Saturday.
UPDATE: Celtic have agreed a loan deal for Norwich City forward Adam Idah.
It’s understood there’s no option to buy.
Idah is due to undergo a medical in London today.
Bologna’s Sydney van Hoodank is due to travel to the UK to have a medical and finalise a move to Norwich. https://t.co/80fwXc1ebJ

So far Nicolas Kuhn is the only January addition to the Celtic squad, signed for £3m from Rapid Vienna and making his debut off the bench against Ross County on Saturday.
With Oh Hyeon-gyu and Daizen Maeda both involved in the Asian Cup Kyogo Furuhashi has been the only first team striker available to Brendan Rodgers.
Idah came off the bench to play for 40 minutes in Norwich’s FA Cup defeat at Liverpool on Sunday which would suggest that he is match fit and ready to hit the ground running with Celtic.
