Celtic have moved close to signing Kasper Hogh after agreeing a club-record deal worth more than £11 million with Bodo/Glimt. The proposed transfer would bring the Danish international striker to Glasgow in one of the biggest moves of the club’s summer business.
Hogh, 25, is expected to travel to Scotland on Saturday night to complete the next stage of the move, including a medical. If the final steps are completed as planned, Celtic will add a new attacking option from the Norwegian side.
The size of the fee underlines how highly Celtic rate the forward and shows a major commitment in the market. Breaking the club’s previous transfer record suggests the Scottish champions see Hogh as an important signing rather than a squad addition.
For Bodo/Glimt, the agreement represents a significant outgoing transfer, while Celtic look set to secure a player who has built a strong reputation in Scandinavia. Attention now turns to the medical and final paperwork before the deal can be formally confirmed.
