Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh set to have Celtic medical within 24 hours, says O'Neill

[p]The Scottish champions have been linked with the 25-year-old Denmark international for a number of months, and allegedly a club record fee of £11million has now been agreed with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bodo-glimt/S0WZMUNG/"]Bodo/Glimt[/a]. [/p][p]After Saturday's 2-2 draw with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ac-milan/8Sa8HInO/"]AC Milan[/a] in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park, O'Neill was asked if the deal was progressing.[/p][p][b]"Yes, I'm hoping that that will happen," he said. "I think there's a good chance of it. But, until someone's actually signed and sealed, there might be things still up in the air, but it's certainly progressing"[/b], said the Scottish coach who also revealed that [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hogh-kasper/2F4SDVzP/"]Hogh[/a] was about to have a medical in Glasgow. [/p][p][b]"Yes, apparently so. He will have one in the next 24 hours, I think."[/b][/p][embed guid="3bd4b246-b007-4388-a19f-09c3b36f757b" url="https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/2080980147625181688" social-type="twitter" /][p]Hogh came through the youth ranks with local club Randers but was sold to second-tier Hobro after an injury-hit spell, including a loan to Valur in Iceland. He then signed for AaB in January 2022, but just a year later, he moved on to join [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/stabaek/CbXNfZvn/"]Stabaek[/a] on loan, a club that had just been promoted to the Norwegian Eliteserien.[/p][p]From then on, Hogh has been on fire as Stabaek turned his year-long loan into a permanent contract after he scored eight goals in 14 games. [/p][p][b]Hogh then signed a pre-contract agreement with Bodo/Glimt to join their top-flight rivals in January 2024. He instantly became a hit as he finished the season as the leading goal scorer with 12 goals as they retained the Norwegian title.[/b][/p][p]He was also the club's leading goal scorer the following year with 17 goals, and in January this year, he scored two goals in a 3-1 win against Manchester City. The following week, he found the net again in a 2-1 win away to Atletico Madrid.[/p][p]Hogh was first called up to Denmark's senior squad in March and in his second appearance came off the bench to head Denmark's equaliser in their World Cup play-off final against the Czech Republic.[/p]
