Adam Idah, hailing from the Republic of Ireland, was born on 11 February 2001, making him 23 years old at the time of writing. The lad is a force to be reckoned with on the football field, primarily utilised as a striker for Celtic FC. A towering figure, Idah stands at 1.9m (6ft 2in) tall, and weighs in at a substantial 83kg (13 stone). A born forward, he dons the illustrious number 9 jersey for Celtic and also represents his home country at the international level.
As per Transfermarkt, the current market value for such a player is around €5.00m, which is approximately £4.28m in our currency. Idah's contract at Celtic is cemented for the next four years and eight months, with an expiration date set for 30 June 2029.
Idah’s journey into football first took a serious turn in July 2017 when he joined Norwich City as a trainee. There, in the English Championship, he garnered a good deal of experience over the following seasons.
Given an ever-increasing role, Idah made 12 first team appearances in his debut 2019-2020 season at Norwich City. The following seasons highlighted his growth. In the 2020-2021 season, he boosted his numbers to 17 first team appearances and netted three goals. In the next season, though his goal tally shrivelled to one, he retained his 17 appearances stints in the first team. 2022-2023 saw him making 25 first team appearances and slotted home two goals. His goal-scoring prowess seemed to gather momentum in the 2023-2024 season as he knocked in six goals in 28 appearances. He's already marked his presence in the current 2024-2025 season with an appearance.
Idah's time in Scotland began with a loan move from Norwich City to Celtic in February 2024. A successful tenure ensued, as he made 15 first team appearances and scored eight goals for Celtic in the 2023-2024 season. However, a return to Norwich City followed in July 2024 after his loan tenure reached its conclusion. But it wasn't long before Celtic snagged him back on a full transfer, this time for a substantial sum of around £8.5m, in August 2024. So far in the present 2024-2025 season, Idah has managed two goals from eight appearances.
The young lad's performances aren't just limited to league matches. In the League Cup 2024-2025 for Celtic, he's already scored two goals from a start and two substitute appearances. In the Scottish Cup 2023-2024, he scored once in four games. He also represented his country in the Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 and the Nations League 2024-2025, amassing two goals from eight appearances and one start in three appearances respectively. In the Champions League 2024-2025, he's managed to score once for Celtic. Never a quiet moment with this lad, it seems.
