Adam Idah Reflects on Celtic Journey After £7M Swansea Transfer

Former Celtic Striker Opens Up About Pressure and Performance

Adam Idah has spoken candidly about his time at Celtic following his £7million transfer to Swansea City, highlighting the intense pressure and scrutiny that comes with playing for one of football's most storied clubs. The move comes just 12 months after Brendan Rodgers invested £9million to secure his services.

Similar to the pressure faced by other athletes pursuing historic achievements, Idah's experience at Celtic was marked by extreme highs and lows.

Impact and Achievement at Celtic

"I think there have been so many games where I've won them games and got them qualified for things, the finals. It probably goes unnoticed," Idah told Sky Sports.

The Irish striker's contribution included scoring 20 goals last season primarily as a substitute, demonstrating the kind of potential that has made him, like other emerging talents in professional sports, a valuable asset in competitive athletics.

Challenges and Opportunities

Idah's candid reflection on the pressures of playing for Celtic reveals the mental challenges athletes face at top clubs. "It can be tough, you get a lot of hate. You might have a bad game and it's torture. It's a difficult place up there. But flip it the other way, you're doing well and it's the best place ever," he explained.

New Chapter at Swansea

The timing of his transfer proved particularly dramatic, with Idah learning of Swansea's interest just before an Old Firm clash with Rangers. His move represents a significant career shift, similar to how athletes often seek new opportunities for advancement in their careers.

"I loved my time at Celtic. At first, I didn't want to leave Celtic. I wanted to go and fight for my spot," Idah admitted, while expressing excitement about the project ahead at Swansea.
