Adam Idah on Celtic future, Rangers playmaker in demand, Hibs eye new keeper - Scottish transfer news

Idah in dark on future

Norwich City striker Adam Idah is still in the dark on where he will be playing his football next season. The Irish striker spent a successful second part of the season on loan at Celtic, scoring the winner in the Scottish Cup final, and is understood to be a permanent transfer target for Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers. Quizzed on his future while on international duty, Idah said: “Celtic is a massive club and built off the fans. Playing games like the Cup Final, and scoring the winner, I'm sure the fans will appreciate it and I appreciate them just as much. I'm still contracted to Norwich and have four years left there. I'm still going back to Norwich as it stands, I haven't really thought too much about it. I spoke briefly to Norwich about when I'm coming back. It's difficult at the start of the window as it's coming up to our summer holidays and we're on internationals right now. I've never been in this situation before and don't know much about how it works. We're on internationals right now and that is my main focus. Then I’ll get a holiday or two in and see what happens.”

Italian duo eye Swede

Forgotten Celtic centre-half Gustaf Lagerbielke is being eyed by two Italian clubs. The Swede arrived last summer from Elfsborg but has been unable to make an impression on the Celtic first team. Serie A outfit Lecee - who were linked with the 24-year-old in January - are set to rekindle their interest, while Serie B side Frosinone are also reported to be interested.

Tierney price tag

Scotland defender Kieran Tierney will be permitted to leave Arsenal on a permanent deal this summer, according to reports. Tierney is currently on international duty with the Scots at Euro 2024 and while he has two years left on his Gunners contract, he is not in the first-team picture. On loan at Real Sociedad last season, it is claimed the former Celtic man would be allowed to exit for £10million.

Hibs linked with keeper

Hibs are continuing their search for a new goalkeeper, with Scotland Under-21 stopper Cieran Slicker emerging as a transfer target. Slicker, who was the reserve keeper at Ipswich Town last season as they won promotion to the English Premier League, is looking for first-team football and is on a list of potential targets for the Easter Road club, with the future of last season’s No 1 David Marshall still unclear after his contract expired earlier this month.
