Surprisingly, Adam Idah could be on his way out of Celtic.
Despite his poor start to this season, there was no indication that the £9m striker would be leaving Parkhead this summer.
However, EFL Championship side Swansea City are seriously interested in signing Idah permanently before the transfer window shuts on Monday.
Sky Sports say Celtic and Swansea are currently in talks, so what does the Welsh club’s manager have to say on the reports?

Alan Sheehan on Idah to Swansea transfer speculation
Alan Sheehan was speaking at his press conference today ahead of Swansea’s away trip to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Asked about the Idah to Swansea speculation, Sheehan said: “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.
“We’re having a look at where the balance is with what we have in the building and on what we want to improve depth-wise.
“Because if we lose a player here or there, we look a bit lighter in some areas, so that’s something to go through in the next couple of days.”
Darren O’Dea connection could be crucial to Idah deal
Celtic recently saw their professional player pathway manager Darren O’Dea leave Parkhead to be Swansea’s assistant boss to Sheehan.
O’Dea revealed he received the backing of Brendan Rodgers to return to a coaching role, and now he could be reunited with Idah in the next few days.
Of course, O’Dea will know Idah well and that may have tipped the scales for Sheehan, who needs a new striker for his team.
Idah scored 20 goals across all competitions for Celtic last season, but is yet to get off the mark this term.
