Derby County could consider making a loan move to sign Norwich City striker Adam Idah, according to reports in the last 48 hours.

The Lowdown: Idah profiled

The Irishman has worked his way up through the ranks at Carrow Road but has recently found game-time hard to come by after sustaining a knee injury which brought his 2021/22 season to a premature end.

The 21-year-old has since had surgery to rectify his problem, but after only making one substitute appearance for the Canaries in the Championship this term, he could now be set for a temporary switch to League One.

The Latest: Derby eyeing Idah

According to The Sun late on Saturday night, Norwich ‘may send’ Idah out on loan in January, with his progress under Dean Smith having been ‘stalled’ as a result of his injury.

The Rams have been name-checked as a potential suitor, with manager Paul Warne a ‘fan’ of the forward having previously tried to sign him at Rotherham, meaning that the 49-year-old could ‘go in again’.

The Verdict: Match made in heaven

Whilst Idah has endured a serious lack of minutes at Carrow Road, his finishing has been dubbed ‘sublime’ by journalist Josh Bunting, so this would appear to be a match made in heaven.

The 6 foot 3 marksman has scored eight goals and provided two assists during his time at Norwich, and with the League One outfit in dire need of extra attacking reinforcements - scoring fewer goals than bottom club Burton Albion - he would seem to be a perfect fit for Warne's team.

Derby would likely be able to offer Idah the game-time that he requires, so this is a move which should suit both parties.
