This January, Adam Idah is drawing interest from transfer teams.
- Hellas Verona has made a loan offer to sign Norwich City’s Adam Idah in the January transfer window.
- The loan move could potentially turn into a permanent transfer in the summer with an option to buy clause.
- Norwich should hold on to Idah amidst interest as he has shown his value to the team and injuries may require him to start.
- Hellas Verona have made a loan offer to sign Norwich City’s Adam Idah this January.
- In the last days of the January window, Idah has become the focus of a lot of conjecture.Verona has their sights set on the 22-year-old in an attempt to increase their chances of staying in Serie A after this season.
Verona’s current offer only includes the striker’s initial loan; it is unclear what kind of fee they might be willing to pay in the summer.
- The forward, who could be crucial to Norwich’s chances of winning the Premier League and helping David Wagner’s team advance, may be reluctant to leave.Verona is currently 16th in the table, but they are in a close relegation battle at the bottom of the Italian first division with Empoli, who are in 19th place, only one point ahead of Verona.
The role of Adam Idah at Norwich
Since making his senior football debut, Idah has been a member of Norwich after rising through the academy ranks.During his tenure at Carrow Road, he gained Premier League experience and was called up to the Ireland national team.
- Only Jonathan Rowe has scored more goals for the team in the Championship this season than the striker.Despite not being a reliable starter for the team, Idah’s six goals this season have shown that he is a valuable member of the team.
Although he has lagged behind Josh Sargent in Wagner’s first team plans, he might still be useful as the Norfolk club looks to finish in the top six in the second half of the season.

Would be a surprise if Norwich sold Idah
It would be wise for Norwich to hold firm in keeping Idah despite this interest.
A loan move with an option to buy isn’t the most lucrative offer, and the Irishman has shown he can be quite useful off the bench and in rotation this campaign.
Injuries could also necessitate him earning another run in the starting lineup, so losing him could leave the team looking quite light in attack.
Idah has a contract until the summer of 2028, so the Canaries have a lot of leverage in any discussions over the player’s future.
