Celtic confirm club‑record £11m signing of Danish striker Kasper Høgh
Celtic Football Club have reached a club‑record agreement to pay £11 million plus add‑ons for 25‑year‑old Danish international Kasper Høgh from Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt. The striker is expected to travel to London for a medical within the next 24–48 hours and then sign a four‑year contract with an optional fifth year.
Manager Martin O’Neill said Høgh is "the calibre of player we’re looking for" and highlighted his Champions League experience, noting that the forward scored 54 goals in 103 matches for Bodø/Glimt, including multiple goals in Europe. The deal follows the summer departure of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town and is seen as a major boost to Celtic’s attack ahead of the new Scottish Premiership season and upcoming European qualifiers.
