Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say Celtic have finalised a club‑record transfer worth about £11 million plus add‑ons for 25‑year‑old striker Kasper Høgh and expect to unveil him within 24 hours.
- Høgh will join Camilo Durán to form a new frontline that newspapers value at roughly £25–30m in total and that Martin O’Neill is assembling ahead of the domestic season and European play‑offs.
- Høgh arrives with proven continental form after scoring six Champions League goals last season and is widely described by pundits as a traditional target striker who can hold up play and score in the box.
- Former Norway international Vidar Riseth told Record Sport he believes Høgh could have commanded closer to £16–20m because of interest from clubs in Italy, Germany and Norway but chose Celtic, which helped secure the lower fee.
- The deal is framed as both an on‑field upgrade and a financial move that is partly funded by outgoing business such as the Maeda sale, and Celtic remain active in the window as they target wide and midfield reinforcements.
