Celtic’s January plans have taken a hit after their reported interest in Kasper Høgh ran into serious competition from England.
The Danish striker, currently impressing with Bodø/Glimt, has been linked with the Scottish champions as they look to strengthen their attacking options before the window closes. However, a strong move from Norwich City now appears to have put Celtic on the back foot.
Reports suggest Norwich have tabled a bid close to Bodø/Glimt’s valuation, believed to be in the region of £6–7 million, putting them firmly in pole position. With the English Championship side able to offer higher wages and a substantial transfer fee, Celtic face an uphill battle if they want to stay in the race.
Høgh has caught the eye this season with a combination of physical presence, sharp movement, and an eye for goal, making him an attractive option for clubs looking for a reliable No.9. His performances in European competition have only added to his growing reputation.
For Celtic, the setback raises fresh questions about their January recruitment strategy. With time ticking down in the window, the pressure is on to either match the financial demands or pivot quickly to alternative targets.
Whether Celtic choose to push the boat out or walk away could define the remainder of their season — but for now, this is a clear reminder that the transfer market is as competitive off the pitch as it is on it.
