Adam Idah, a Norwich City loanee, has shocked some at Carrow Road with his Celtic play, according to reporter Michael Gannon.Idah, a striker, was given permission by Norwich City to leave on loan in January so that he may play more regularly outside of Carrow Road.Throughout the earlier part of the campaign, he had been a regular fixture for the Canaries, but it was difficult for him to make a significant impression because he was frequently used as a replacement.Celtic became interested in the situation and agreed to a loan. He has since established himself north of the border and has demonstrated his best form of the senior year.Idah is just one goal short of the six goals he scored in 28 Championship appearances prior to the loan move, having netted five goals in seven games for the Scottish Premiership team.His performance in Scotland has drawn notice, and it appears that Norwich City was not prepared for it either.Speaking on the RecordCeltic Podcast, Daily Record reporter Michael Gannon remarked that his parent club is “surprised” by Idah’s performance (comments courtesy of Celts Are Here). He declared:
“I believe Idah has seized his opportunity greatly.He has taken everyone by surprise. People you talk to at Norwich, for example, are similarly shocked by how brilliantly he began off.Idah has always been seen as a promising player, but after making more than 100 appearances for Norwich City, he is now a well-established member of the first team. Having said that, there were those who would have expected him to secure a starting position with the Canaries.Although Idah’s 115 appearances total of 17 goals and 4 assists isn’t particularly impressive, a large portion of his games have been as a substitute.Maybe an impressive loan where he plays as the starting striker for Celtic might convince people back at his parent club that he is a reliable option to start at the top for the long term in Norfolk.Idah, though, is going to be keen to stay going in Scotland till then.He’s taken the starting position and made it his own. With five goals in his last seven games, you’d expect him to hang on if he can continue his strong play at the top of the pitch.
