Celtic recently completed the signing of Adam Idah on a permanent basis after his super successful half-season loan spell from Norwich City in the previous campaign, which saw the Irishman score 9 goals including the Scottish Cup winner against the Rangers. If add-ons are met, it could be the most expensive transfer in the Hoops' history.

Celtic could potentially sign another player from Norwich City this summer as well. They have recently been linked with Abu Kamara.

Kamara is 21 years of age, capable of playing as a forward or a winger. He was a standout at the youth level for Norwich City but has not gotten too many chances at the senior level for the Canaries. He did impress on loan at Portsmouth last season though and that is rumoured to have caught the eye of Celtic.

On the other hand, as tweeted by Alex Howell, Kamara has handed in a transfer request. Clubs in the Championship are believed to be monitoring him. The 21-year-old has one year left on his deal with a club-held option of a further year.

Signing someone like Kamara, if avaialble for the right tranafer fee, would be smart on the part of Celtic. They need a third striker to cover for Idah and Kyogo, and could do with another option on the wings as well.

Kamara is capable of filling both those roles. So, his versatility would be a major asset to Celtic. It remains to be seen whether they up making a push to sign the 21-year-old or not.

Celtic have been linked with other forward players in recent times as well. Aaron Connolly is believed to be an option they are monitoring at the moment and he is available as a free agent as well.
