Celtic has officially announced the signing of striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt in a club-record transfer valued at £11 million, plus potential add-ons. The 25-year-old Denmark international has put pen to paper on a four-year contract, with the option for Celtic to extend the deal for an additional year.

Impressive Track Record

Hogh has made a significant impact during his time at Bodo/Glimt, netting 53 goals in 102 appearances. His performance was particularly noteworthy during the previous season's Champions League, where he played a key role in helping the team reach the last 16, including scoring in a memorable victory against Atletico Madrid.

Excitement for the Future

In his first interview as a Celtic player, Hogh expressed his enthusiasm for joining the club, stating, "I'm so happy. When I came into the room and saw the shirt, I was really excited." He acknowledged the rich history of Celtic and mentioned discussions with family and friends that reinforced his decision to join.

Hogh also shared his ambitions for his time at Celtic, emphasizing his desire to contribute both offensively and defensively. "I like to be in the box and score goals, but I also want to help my team-mates defensively and work hard for the team," he said. Having trained over the summer and played in league matches in Norway, he feels prepared to make an immediate impact as the team gears up for their Premiership opener against Dundee.
