Celtic Kasper Høgh talks have taken a significant step forward after respected Italian transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed negotiations are underway with Bodø/Glimt over a potential deal.
For Celtic supporters, this is one of the strongest transfer updates of the summer so far. Di Marzio has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most reliable transfer reporters, meaning his information is rarely dismissed lightly.
Speaking about the situation, he said:
“I think Kasper Høgh will move to Celtic. It’s not a done deal yet, but there is a good possibility.”
TALKS GATHER MOMENTUM
While nothing has been signed yet, this appears to be much more than another speculative transfer rumour.
Di Marzio’s update suggests discussions between Celtic and Bodø/Glimt are progressing, with both clubs now actively exploring a deal for the Danish striker.
That will be welcome news for supporters who have watched several transfer stories come and go without reaching the finish line.
WHY HØGH FITS CELTIC
The 24-year-old has impressed in Norway with his intelligent movement, physical presence and eye for goal.
He also matches the recruitment profile Celtic have followed in recent years. He is young enough to improve further while already possessing the experience needed to compete immediately.
Martin O’Neill’s keen to strengthen his attacking options before the new campaign, and Høgh looks like a player capable of making an impact.
REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
Celtic supporters will understandably remain cautious until agreements are signed and announced officially.
However, this latest update carries considerably more credibility than many of the rumours that have circulated throughout the summer.
When one of football’s most respected transfer journalists believes there is a “good possibility” of a move happening, optimism naturally grows.
The coming days could prove crucial. If negotiations continue in a positive direction, Kasper Høgh may soon become Celtic’s latest summer signing.
I believe it if I see it- call me cynical but its unlikely
I don’t blame you. I will wait till I see him wearing the hoops and even then, hope that it isn’t AI generated.
Possibly being the main word. Many respected journalists and agents have been hoodwinked by this board before. So sorry, until it’s a signed and sealed deal I believe nothing.
Been crying out to get this guy signed, now if we could also get Mgabe in the midfield then Engels can move on.
Don’t want to be greedy so along with Duran and Baur, these two and maybe another left back and possibly a GK, id be satisfied-ish.
Just needed them in sooner ffs.
