Celtic have reportedly entered the race to sign Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh in a late‑window push to add firepower up front, and they’re battling Norwich City for the 25‑year‑old’s signature before the transfer deadline next Monday at 11pm.

Høgh has been in the spotlight recently after a standout performance against Manchester City in the Champions League, where he scored twice in Bodo/Glimt’s famous 3-1 win. That game only amplified interest in the Dane, and now Celtic are understood to be among the clubs chasing him.

The striker enjoyed an excellent season last term in Norway, finishing with 17 goals and six assists in the Eliteserien and also registering an impressive seven goals in 14 Europa League matches. Bodo/Glimt enjoyed a remarkable run in European competition last season, reaching the Europa League semi‑finals before eventually being knocked out by Tottenham Hotspur, then managed by Ange Postecoglou.

Høgh’s blend of goalscoring instinct, physicality and experience in European competition has made him an attractive target.

Norwich, currently in the Championship and managed by Philippe Clement, is also keen on Høgh and has been actively pursuing the transfer. How the situation plays out in the next few days will depend on negotiations between the clubs and, crucially, whether Celtic feel they can get a deal done on terms that suit them, whether that’s a loan with an option to buy or a permanent move.

With just days remaining in the window, this could be one of the final opportunities for Celtic to add the kind of attacking reinforcements the squad has desperately needed. Høgh is one of the most eye‑catching names linked in this late stage, and if Celtic can get it over the line, it would be a significant statement of intent from the board and Martin O’Neill.
