Adam Idah will be an 'important' and 'valuable' asset to Norwich City this season, claims their head coach.
Idah played 33 minutes in Norwich's pre-season loss to Club Brugge on Wednesday, but that was all part of the plan according to Thorup, who branded the striker"valuable" and"important" to the Canaries.
"Good to see him back," the Norwich head coach said."He’s been a part of the group now for a little bit more than a week.“It's important for him to get in and have some minutes again and I think we could see what he can support this team with. So it’s nice to have him back on the pitch and I think he will be a valuable player for us.”
He continued: "Like I said at the beginning of pre-season, we consider Adam as an important player for us so that's why he got 30 minutes today which was important for him to get started and get back in the rhythm, nice and easy. He's had more or less one full training week so that's why we were pretty sure that it would only be half an hour today.
"Me and Adam sit down quite often so we've had some good conversations already. He's a good kid. He's working hard and he's funny as well. He gives some energy to the group. We can see what kind of striker he is already and we can definitely use him in the season. So that's what we work with."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
