Celtic have broken their transfer record to sign Denmark striker Kasper Hogh from Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt for a reported fee of £11 million. The 25-year-old has signed a four-year contract with an option for a further year, becoming Celtic's second summer signing after Camilo Duran. Hogh scored 54 goals in 103 games for Bodo/Glimt, including five in last season's Champions League, and notably scored against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in the competition. He made his Denmark senior debut in March and scored his first international goal in a World Cup play-off. The signing comes amid fan unrest following the departure of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town and the exits of Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi. Hogh expressed excitement about joining Celtic, calling it a 'really good match' and emphasizing his goal-scoring ability and work ethic.
