Adam Idah’s return to action for Norwich didn’t go as planned, with his team losing 3-0 to Club Brugge. He was substituted just half an hour into the game, with his side already two goals down.
Idah is being pursued for a return to Celtic, but Norwich has yet to make a definitive decision. Despite rumors of a move to join Brendan Rodgers’ team in the USA, he traveled to Belgium for pre-season. A £4.5m deal is in the works, and it seems likely to happen, but for now, he remains with Norwich. He was seen training on Wednesday and started the match as named by coach Johannes Hoff Thorup. However, he was replaced after 33 minutes by Brad Hills, which Norwich claims was a planned substitution. Speculation arose about a possible early departure for Glasgow, but nothing is confirmed.
If Idah does return to Glasgow, he might be joined by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who is in advanced talks for a move. Schmeichel is expected to take over as the No.1 from Joe Hart. Viljami Sinisalo, recently signed from Aston Villa, is likely to be Schmeichel’s understudy and potential long-term replacement. He has been training in the USA, wearing No.12, indicating the No.1 spot might be reserved for Schmeichel. Reports from Denmark suggest Schmeichel’s move is nearly finalized, pending only the formalities of the contract. He is set to sign a one-year deal with an option for an additional season and will join his new teammates in the USA once completed.
