A few, admitted daily, troop about eagerly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avidly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eagerly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a few admitted daily troop' is the wordplay.
'few' becomes 'vi'.
'admitted daily troop' becomes 'dly' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'vi'+'dly'='AVIDLY'

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avidly that I've seen before include "Eagerly, maybe greedily" , "Eagerly, enthusiastically" , "Keenly, eagerly" , "With keenness" , "With eagerness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
