Celtic Agree Club‑Record Fee for Kasper Høgh

A reported £11m-plus deal would replace Daizen Maeda, strengthening Celtic’s strike options ahead of Champions League qualifying.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Celtic have agreed an initial £11m fee plus add-ons with Bodo/Glimt for 25‑year‑old Kasper Høgh, with personal terms said to be in place and a medical scheduled imminently.
  • The move progressed quickly after Daizen Maeda’s sale to Ipswich, a transfer widely reported at about £10m that the club used to free funds for Høgh.
  • Høgh arrives with proven European form, having scored more than 50 goals for Bodo/Glimt and netted multiple goals in last season’s Champions League against top opponents.
  • Høgh is expected to join Camilo Durán to form a rebuilt front line that represents roughly £16–17m of investment in Celtic’s attack.
  • Celtic remain active in the window, continuing negotiations for a midfielder, wingers and a goalkeeper, and the signing would ease short‑term pressure on the squad before qualifying matches.
