Celtic have made a new bid for Adam Idah as the Scottish Champions look to bring the Irishman back to the club. A report on Thursday evening claims that the clubs are in discussions over a deal but that Brendan Rodgers has instructed the club to do a deal to get Idah back on a permanent basis.

According to Stephen McGowan at the Daily Mail, Celtic have launched a bid that they hope will persuade Norwich into selling. The report does not say the figure that Celtic have offered; however, it does state that the Canaries want £8m for the player.

Idah made his feelings to the Norwich hierarchy known about wanting a return to Celtic Park, which prompted internal disciplinary proceedings at Carrow Rd.

Celtic had a bid rejected for Idah in the early stages of the transfer window, which is believed to be £4.5m plus add-ons. Talks have continued and the report has said that the Scottish Champions have made a new bid for the attacker, which is hoped can bring the player back to Paradise.

The 23-year-old scored 9 goals and assisted once in 19 appearances and most of these came from the bench. The striker scored some big goals as Celtic won a League & Cup Double and the manager made it clear that he was a priority this summer.
