Celtic have agreed personal terms with Norwich City striker Adam Idah and he will undergo a medical imminently, sources have told Football Insider.

The two clubs have reached a full agreement for the 23-year-old over a deal worth £8.5m plus £1m of add-ons.

Idah spent the second half of last season on loan at Celtic Park and scored nine goals in 19 appearances for the club, making it the most prolific season of his career.

Football Insider revealed (August 10) that Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers was pushing the club to make a permanent move for the Republic of Ireland international.

Idah hasn't been able to carry his goalscoring prowess from the youth divisions up to the senior game just yet having scored just 17 goals in 115 appearances for Norwich City.

He played 34 times for the Canaries in the first half of last season, scoring seven goals in 15 starts for his boyhood club.

The club have been desperate to bring in another striker to help Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi who is their only senior frontline option.

The Glasgow giants have seemingly got their man as they seek to retain their Scottish Premier League title.
