Norwich City have identified Tom Cannon as a potential new signing as they look for an Adam Idah alternative. The Irish International has been heavily linked with a permanent switch to Celtic with talks ongoing but thus far there has been no breakthrough.
According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, Norwich have identified Cannon as a loan option should Idah depart.
Idah was booed by sections of the home support in Norwich’s preseason friendly defeat to FC St Pauli. This prompted the player to go straight up the tunnel after full time. It appears that the player is desperate for the transfer to Celtic to go through and move on from this awkward situation at Carrow Road.
Celtic had a £4m bid rebuffed and it is believed that there hasn’t been a second offer. The clubs are in discussions but there is yet to be a breakthrough that would bring about a Paradise return for the player.
Hopefully the fact that Norwich are exploring other options suggests that the title is in an end game situation. It is not out with the realms of possibility that this is holding up the deal. Norwich will not want to be left short themselves, which can ultimately drag out negotiations.
