Idah managed to contribute across the season, but he failed to replicate the blistering impact of his initial loan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The sharpness, confidence, and clutch finishing that defined his first six months in green and white were only seen in flashes, leaving <a data-autolink-id=\"13\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/celtsarehere.com\/brendan-rodgers-glasgow-celtic-2-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rodgers<\/a> and supporters frustrated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">That inconsistency, coupled with Celtic\u2019s desire to refresh their forward line, has paved the way for Idah\u2019s departure. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Swansea have stepped in to offer the Republic of Ireland international a long-term deal, with the clubs agreeing an initial \u00a36m fee rising to over \u00a37m with add-ons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The move underlines another transfer misstep from the Parkhead boardroom. Just twelve months after committing close to \u00a310m on Idah, Celtic are accepting a loss on a player who was meant to be entering his prime years in Glasgow. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The striker himself will relish the chance to restart in the Championship, with Swansea viewing him as a key addition to push for promotion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For Celtic, the challenge now is replacing Idah effectively in the next 24 hours. We all know the club want to sign Kasper Dolberg but will they finalise a deal for the Danish striker?<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/celtsarehere.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EXTRA-TIME-CELTSAREHERE.png\" alt=\"Tees for Tims\" width=\"100%\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Idah\u2019s time at Celtic is drawing to a close, with the striker poised to complete his \u00a37m&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-110672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
