Kasper Hogh is closing in on a club record move to Scottish champions Celtic, months after being pursued by Norwich City.

The Danish international, currently at Bodo/Glimt, is set to undergo a medical in Scotland as he finalises a move reportedly worth £11m.

If completed as expected, it’ll see Hogh finally move to the UK following two transfer windows that contained strong speculation and bids.

Former Canaries boss Martin O’Neill, who signed a one year extension at Celtic Park after leading them to the Scottish Premiership title last season, is confident a deal will now be completed for the 25-year-old - confirming he is set for a medical.

“Yes, apparently so. He will have one in the next 24 hours, I think. I’m hoping that that will happen," he told the BBC after their friendly draw with AC Milan. "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."

Norwich made a bid worth £7m in January to sign Hogh and it’s understood that deal was close to being agreed between the clubs before a goal-scoring burst in the Champions League against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid sealed a Champions League play-off tie against Inter Milan, and scuppered any chance of a Carrow Road move.

Hogh was keen on a switch to Carrow Road and personal terms wouldn’t have provided a barrier to any move, but their European progression made it impossible for Bodo to sell.

That interest now looks to be in the past after City signed Mo Toure from Danish Superliga side Randers instead, with the Australian international netting nine Championship goals in 11 matches.

Norwich are not in the market for a striker this summer with Jovon Makama and Mathias Kvistgaarden completing a striking stable that Philippe Clement is confident can fire enough goals to help propel them into the Championship promotion picture.

“As a club, everybody aligned around that, and we were really, really close in signing a striker who wanted to come, but the situation changed, because his team was winning games that they were not expected to win, and the situation changed,” Clement told the Pink Un earlier this year.

“The player really wanted to come because we had a lot of talks. He believed a lot in the story. He saw that he was playing, he saw how he could suit the team, the club and the ambition that the club have.”
