Rodgers Praises Celtic’s New Signing Adam Idah, Comparing Him to Moussa Dembélé

Celtic added a name to their squad on deadline day, signing Adam Idah from Norwich City on loan for the rest of the season. The Hoops needed to sign a striker and were linked with names such as Bojan Meveski, Lawrence Shankland, Matthias Qvistgaarden, Danny Ings and Sidney van Hooydonk. As expected, the arrival of the Republic of Ireland international was met with disappointment by a large section of the fans.

Many even thought that Brendan Rodgers was not very happy about the move. They pointed out that the manager’s comments were missing from his comments. announcement.

This doesn’t seem to be the case at all. On the contrary, Rodgers seems to value Idah very positively, even comparing him to Moussa Dembélé.

This is truly praiseworthy considering what Dembélé has achieved with Celtic. Since he left the club, he has also had a very good career. If Idah performs even half as well, his time at Parkhead will be considered a success.

As reported Glasgow TimesSpeaking of his hands, Rodgers said:

“I have said before that if I am going to bring in players, I want to bring in better players.

“I’ve had players like that before and people might question his ability, but he’s still young. He is 22 years old. But he has real quality. “If you can unlock that with him, he has it all.”

Referring to Dembélé’s move to Celtic, Rodgers added:

“I remember when Moussa Dembélé came here, the qualities he had.

“Adam, his goal-per-game ratio, his play at a higher level, is possibly higher.

«Moises has had a great career here and I hope Adam can do the same. Because he is fast, big, strong and has a good touch.

So, it seems like Rodgers has high hopes on his hands. His comments should also raise the expectations of Celtic fans, many of whom had already written off the striker before the move became official.

Of course, in the end it will all be about results. Idah clearly has a lot of potential, but so far he hasn’t scored goals consistently. If he can do that for Celtic, the people who left him out will soon consider him a hero. Otherwise, his time at Parkhead will be short and another in a long list of transfer mistakes.
