Adam Idah insists he always had his heart set on a move to Celtic after finally sealing his permanent transfer from Norwich City in a deal worth up to £9.5million.
The Republic of Ireland international striker has signed a five-year deal with the Scottish champions after an impressive loan stint during the second half of last season.
His arrival followed news that Southampton have all but pulled out of the race to sign midfielder Matt O’Riley, potentially paving the way for a move to Atalanta.
Idah scored nine goals in 19 matches last term, including a late winner against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final as Celtic completed a domestic Double.
