Norwich City: Gordon Strachan on Celtic target Adam Idah

The Norwich City striker is wanted by his former loan club on a permanent deal this summer, but remains a part of Canaries boss Johannes Hoff Thorup's plans.

He found form after moving to Parkhead in January, prompting high praise from Hoops chief Brendan Rodgers and a saga of speculation north of the border.

Strachan says he still feels there's more to come from Idah, however, even if he was impressed by his performances last term.

"I thought Idah performed well last season," he said. "He’s got talent, he's got strength. But then he's got to say to himself: 'Am I happy with that, or can I do more?'

"'Do I want to become a top, top player?' That’s where his career is now. It’s decision time. Is he happy with what he can do, or does he want to put the work in and develop into something a bit special?

"He wasn’t getting a game at Norwich last season. There has to be question marks about your attitude if that’s the case. He needs to look at the question marks and eradicate them.

"It’s easy to pick up a label as a player. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong. Your ability will be questioned throughout your career; mentally, physical, technical ability.

"If he re-signs, he’s got the opportunity to put some of those doubts to bed, but Celtic Football Club will test all of those things, don’t worry about that!"

The 23-year-old's natural ability means his development is in his own hands according to Strachan, who has also managed Coventry, Southampton, Middlesbrough and the Scottish national team.

"He has the tools to be a top player," he continued, speaking to topoffshorecasinos.com. "If you have the tools to be a top player, then your career development is on you.

"It’s not down to the coaches to put an arm around you, and when you hear that, it basically means the player needs a kick up the backside. I’ve heard that so many times from players that didn’t fulfill their promise: they blame everyone else."
