Celtic could miss out on Kasper Hogh


Celtic could fail to sign Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. The Scottish Premiership giants wanted to sign the striker in January and remain keen.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “I think obviously (his form) might bring bigger clubs with bigger budgets into the race for Kasper Hogh.

Again, Celtic looked at him in January as they were looking for striking reinforcements, but I think obviously the success of Bodo/Glimt meant that they didn’t want to entertain letting their forward go.

“They wanted to keep him for those Champions League playoffs, and obviously that move has paid off, because they pulled off a real shock result against Inter Milan to reach the last 16.

“Obviously, they will bank a lot of money from their success in Europe as well, so they’re not under any pressure to sell the likes of Kasper Hogh, and if Bodo are able to offer him, and other players, the opportunity to play in the Champions League, it’s going to be hard to prise them away.

“I think the ship has sailed now for Celtic to have any chance of signing him. His price tag will have gone up quite a lot in recent weeks and months as well due to his success in the Champions League.”
