Celtic are poised to formally unveil Danish striker Kasper Høgh as their headline summer signing after the 25-year-old goal machine completed his medical requirements. The Scottish Champions struck an agreement with Norwegian outfit Bodø/Glimt for a fee exceeding £11 million plus performance add-ons, capping off a persistent six-month pursuit by Parkhead decision-makers.
Høgh accepted a four-year contract with an option for a further 12 months, signaling a massive financial commitment from manager Martin O’Neill to reshape his front line. The initial outlay eclipse previous expenditure benchmarks, with funds directly reinvested following Daizen Maeda’s £10 million departure to Premier League side Ipswich Town.
The 6ft-plus Danish frontman established his credentials on the elite stage last season, netting crucial Champions League goals against Manchester City, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Sporting Lisbon. His arrival provides Celtic with physical presence and proven international quality ahead of upcoming European play-off ties.
O’Neill plans to deploy Høgh alongside fellow summer recruit Camilo Durán in a revamped attacking system. With all paperwork finalized, the Danish striker is set to make his official debut on Flag Day when Celtic launch their Scottish Premiership title defense against Dundee at Celtic Park.
