Striker Adam Idah joined Celtic from Norwich City in February 2024 Swansea City head coach Alan Sheehan has played down speculation linking the Championship club with Celtic striker Adam Idah. But amid reports that the Swans have opened talks with the 24-year-old, Sheehan has spoken of his admiration for the player. "He is a player I'm aware of obviously, an Irish international so yeah I do know him. A good player but I don't want to comment on anybody that's not our player, " said Sheehan. Celtic paid a fee thought to be in the region of £9. 5m to bring Idah from Norwich City in August 2024 but he has struggled for form. It is thought the Hoops could consider selling or loaning him if a replacement can be found in the coming days. Sheehan is understood to be on the lookout for a striker to compete with the likes of Zan Vipotnik, Liam Cullen and Bobby Wales. "We're having a look at where where the balance is with what we have in the building and on what we want to improve depth-wise, " added Sheehan. "Because if we lose a player here or there, we look a bit lighter in some areas, so that's something to to go through in the next couple of days. " One player who could exit Swansea is Wales midfielder Ollie Cooper. Cooper has missed out on being included in Craig Bellamy's latest squad for the World Cup qualifier in Kazakhstan on 4 September - something that Sheehan has discussed with the player. "I think that's something that will come out in the next couple of days and see where Ollie is, " said Sheehan. "He was involved the other night [against Plymouth Argyle] and in league games as well, so I think for somebody like Ollie he does need to be playing regularly, and to go and have an impact on that World Cup squad is something that I've spoken about with him. "We've had open dialogue but let's see what happens in the next couple of days if he's still here. If he goes he'll be treated consistently by us.
