One of the worst decisions that Celtic made this summer was sanctioning Adam Idah's departure on deadline day, without having a replacement in place first. Perhaps the Hoops felt that the offer was too good to turn down for a striker who was clearly struggling to make an impact and looked down on confidence. But even then, considering their lack of options in that area, an exit should not have taken place before a striker was signed first.
Idah has admitted since leaving that it was not part of his plan to depart Celtic this summer. But opportunities can crop up out of nowhere. And it looks like that was the case for the Irishman as well.
Swansea City are under new ownership and this is expected to be an exciting new era for the club. Other than that, it looks like they also offered Idah a staggering salary to get the deal over the line on deadline day.
If rumours are accurate, then his salary might have seen a significant increase. As reported by Football League World, according to journalist Alan Nixon via his Patreon channel, Swansea City offered Idah a deal close to £40,000 per week for him to leave Celtic.
Celtic fans left stunned by Adam Idah's reported salary at Swansea City
It is hard to imagine that Idah would have been on that sort of salary at Celtic. Not even close. Perhaps the highest earners at the club make somewhere in the region.
Let's see how Idah does at Swansea City. Of course, the Championship is familar territory for him, having spent so many years at Norwich City.
He scored 20 goals last season despite mostly playing as a backup option. Perhaps that is what convinced Swansea City to go out and make a big investment on signing him. But he has never really impressed when called upon to be first-choice.
