Kasper Høgh Shines in Champions League Match
Kasper Høgh scored a goal in the UEFA Champions League last-16 tie against Sporting Lisbon, helping Bodo/Glimt secure a decisive 3-0 victory. This performance marks a significant achievement for the Norwegian side, which has become the first team from Norway to progress in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Høgh’s goal is part of an impressive run, as he has now scored five goals in his last five Champions League matches. His consistent performance has drawn attention from various clubs, including Celtic, which made an enquiry for him at the end of January 2026. Despite this interest, Bodo/Glimt’s managing director Frode Thomassen stated, “We don’t have to sell anyone, but if the offer is good and the player would like to go, of course we will judge it and see.”
In the 2025 Eliteserien season, Høgh demonstrated his scoring prowess by netting 17 league goals and providing five assists across 28 appearances. His contributions have been vital for Bodo/Glimt, especially during their remarkable Champions League journey, where they have defeated formidable opponents such as Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Høgh’s recent performances have led to speculation about his market value, with reports suggesting that Celtic passed up on signing him for a fee between £6-10 million. However, with his current form, Bodo/Glimt’s asking price for Høgh may have doubled or tripled ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite his success at the club level, Høgh has not yet been selected for the Danish national team. Nonetheless, his club performances have not gone unnoticed, with observers praising his abilities. An anonymous source remarked, “This kid’s incredible!” highlighting the potential that many see in the young striker.
As Bodo/Glimt continues its Champions League campaign, the focus will be on Høgh’s ability to maintain his scoring form. His brace against Manchester City in the group stage showcased his talent on a larger stage, and fans will be eager to see how he performs in the upcoming matches.
With the transfer window approaching, the situation surrounding Høgh remains dynamic. While he enjoys playing in Bodo, as noted by Thomassen, the possibility of a transfer looms, and details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential moves. As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on Høgh and his future in football.
