Johannes Hoff Thorup’s Latest Comments on Adam Idah

Adam Idah started once again for Norwich at the weekend, picking up an assist in their 1-1 draw with Standard Liege.

It was the Irishman’s second start in a row under new Canaries’ manager Johannes Hoff Thorup.

He seems to see Idah as part of his plans for the upcoming campaign.

“Like we said from day one, he’s a vital part of the group and of the squad here”, he said (Football Scotland).

“Adam’s working hard in training, a good guy with good energy. He’s really doing well and I hope it’s obvious for him and everyone that he will play a vital part for this team.”

Despite Thorup’s comments, there is a desire from Celtic to bring Idah back to Glasgow.

His impact on loan last season was vast, scoring some crucial goals that spurred the Bhoys on to success.

Manager Brendan Rodgers openly admitted at the end of last term that he wanted to sign the 23-year-old permanently, but there has been little movement on that front since.

Contrasting reports have emerged over the Scottish champions moving for Idah; those suggesting a deal will happen have failed to come to fruition.

There is a wealth of time remaining in the window for something to be finalised but at the minute, Celtic appear to be dragging their heels, and fans are becoming growingly frustrated.
