Idah, 24, scored 29 goals in 76 appearances for Celtic and he has become the 11th player to leave the Scottish giants this summer.

Reports state that Celtic are interested in completing a last-minute deal for Chelsea outcast David Datro Fofana to replace Idah after failing in their pursuit of Anderlecht star Kasper Dolberg.

Adam Idah joins Swansea

Upon confirmation of his move to Swansea, Idah told the club’s official website: “I want the responsibility, and it is one of the main reasons I have come here. I want to have the chance to be the main man, to lead the line and score as many goals as I can.

“Every striker wants that job, and to come here and try push for promotion; if you can be the main man in that then it is an amazing feeling.

“I am really looking forward to trying to do just that and score goals.”

He added: “I feel I am a good all-rounder and I can bring a bit of everything. I have the physique, I have pace, I can dribble with the ball or hold it up to bring others into play.

“Overall, I think my game is not just about any one thing, I believe I am good at all the different parts of the game so I hope I can bring that while looking to learn and still add more things moving forward.

“I am really excited, it is a fresh start for me, it’s a fresh start for my family, and I want to get going and get some goals.”
