Celtic is circling back on a deal for Danish striker Kasper Hogh, the Bodo/Glimt forward who spent the winter making Champions League defenders look ordinary. The Scottish club tried to land the 25-year-old in January but walked away when the Norwegian side bumped the price tag. Now, with summer approaching and Celtic’s squad in need of reinforcements, the pursuit is back on.
From £7 million to £10 million, and counting
Celtic’s January pursuit of Hogh fell apart over money. Bodo/Glimt initially valued the forward at around £7 million, but as Hogh kept finding the net in Europe’s premier club competition, that figure climbed to £10 million.
Hogh scored in pivotal Champions League matches against Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan, helping Bodo/Glimt advance to the last 16. Celtic opted not to meet the revised valuation in January.
