Celtic Signs Kasper Høgh for €12.9m, Second-Most Expensive Signing
Celtic has agreed to sign Danish striker Kasper Høgh from FK Bodø/Glimt for €12.9 million plus add-ons. This transfer will make Høgh the second-most expensive signing in Celtic’s history.
Kasper Høgh is 25 years old and has established himself as a prolific goal-scorer, with 54 goals in 103 appearances for FK Bodø/Glimt, including six goals in the Champions League last season.
Høgh’s impressive goal-scoring record has caught the attention of Celtic, who are looking to strengthen their squad after the departure of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town for €11.7m. Manager Martin O’Neill has confirmed that a deal is close to being finalized, with Høgh set to undergo a medical in Glasgow this weekend.
Kasper Høgh’s Role at Celtic
Kasper Høgh will play as a centre-forward for Celtic, providing a significant goal-scoring threat for the team. His ability to score goals in the Champions League will be a valuable asset for the club as they compete in European competitions.
Team Selection and Squad Stability
Høgh’s arrival at Celtic will provide manager Martin O’Neill with more options in attack. He will compete with other forwards for a starting spot, and his goal-scoring ability will be a significant boost to the team.
Transfer Spending and Budget Impact
The €12.9 million fee for Kasper Høgh is a significant investment for Celtic, but it is not expected to surpass the club’s record transfer fee of €16.2m for Jota. The add-ons included in the deal will increase the total cost, but the exact amount has not been disclosed.
