CELTIC are poised to unveil record £11million-plus signing Kasper Hogh today.
The Danish striker passed a medical in London yesterday to trigger the green light to pen a four-year deal with the club holding the option of a further 12 months, according to a report in the Scottish Sun.
Hogh, 25, will make a quickfire debut for the Hoops when the club’s quest for a sixth successive Premiership title kicks off with the visit of Dundee to Parkhead on Monday evening.
The 6ft-plus international frontman is likely to be paired with another new Bhoy, Colombian hitman Camilo Duran, who has already impressed with goals in three successive warm-up outings since his £5.5million arrival from Qarabag earlier this month.
BIG NOISE…record signing Kasper Hogh is ready to be a roaring success at Celtic.
There will be no fitness issues with Hogh who has already scored seven goals in 12 appearances in the Eliteserien with the Danish League season commencing in April.
The forward leaves Bodo/Glimt in pole position after 15 matches, leading by a point from Viking.
The initial fee for Hogh will eclipse Celtic’s previous highest purchase, Arne Engels from Bundesliga outfit Augsburg in August 2024. Add-ons will also be factored into the champions’ financial outlay for a proven goalscorer.
The attack-leader emphasised he could perform at the highest level in the Champions League last season when he scored goals against Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Sporting Lisbon.
Now the Hoops fans will get a glimpse of the record recruit in a Celtic shirt today before the real stuff gets underway on Flag Day in the east end of Glasgow on Monday evening.
