Celtic require a striker, and Norwich City target Kasper Hogh would be ideal for the Parkhead side.
When Kyogo departed Celtic a year ago, the Parkhead outfit failed to adequately replace the Japanese forward with someone of equal or superior quality.
The exit of Adam Idah to Swansea City only worsened Celtic’s striker dilemma, and now, the Parkhead squad is feeling the consequences.
Martin O’Neill has made acquiring a striker a priority for Celtic this January, and Hogh would be the perfect option for the Parkhead legend.
Celtic must secure Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh from under Norwich City
The BBC reports that Norwich City have lodged a bid of £6m for Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh.
Hogh has been impressing Norwich City manager Philippe Clement, and it is suggested that Hogh is eager to join the Championship side.
The former Denmark U19 international has netted 40 goals in 81 appearances for the Norwegian champions and is featuring in this season’s Champions League.
So why is Hogh ideal for Celtic? Let’s examine.
Kasper Hogh’s prolific scoring makes him perfect for Celtic
At 25, Hogh is entering his prime years, and his current goal record at Bodo/Glimt demonstrates that he’s improving with age.
Last season, the Dane scored 27 goals in 49 matches across all competitions, which included seven out of 14 Europa League fixtures.
Goals against Porto, Olympiacos, and FC Twente put Hogh on the European radar, and a transfer seems likely this January.
At just over six feet tall, Hogh is the kind of robust striker Martin O’Neill favors and would bring much-needed physicality to the Celtic attack.
Hogh would be an outstanding addition to this Celtic squad, and at just over £6m, the striker is very attainable for the Parkhead club.
