Celtic have agreed a club-record fee of £11m plus add-ons to sign striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt, while Daizen Maeda has completed his move to Ipswich Town in a £10m deal.
It’s understood 25-year-old Hogh is keen to join the Scottish champions and will arrive in the UK on Saturday evening ahead of completing his medical. Denmark international Hogh has been Celtic’s number one centre-forward target this summer and is set to sign a four-year contract, with Celtic holding the option to extend the deal by a further year.
