Celtic: Bodo/Glimt's Kasper Hogh to have medical within 24 hours
Celtic is expected to finalize a deal for Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh within the next 24 hours following a club-record agreement. The move comes as the club adjusts its roster after the sale of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town.
Why it matters
The transfer reflects the high-stakes nature of professional football recruitment and the financial pressures on top-tier clubs.

Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh is due to have a medical with Celtic in the next 24 hours, says manager Martin O'Neill.
The 25-year-old Denmark international has been linked with the Scottish champions for a number of months and reports claim they have agreed a club record £11m with his Norwegian team.
O'Neill was questioned about the progress of the deal after Saturday's 2-2 draw with AC Milan in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park.
"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."
