Celtic transfer news: Club-record fee for Kasper Hogh agreed as Ipswich Town sign Daizen Maeda
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.
They made an enquiry for him in the January transfer window but due to Bodo's success in the Champions League he decided to stay on for that run - where he scored in their famous win over Atletico Madrid on their way to the last-16.
Hogh scored 53 goals in 102 appearances for Bodo/Glimt.
Maeda, meanwhile, exits Celtic. The Japan international was a key player for the Hoops since joining under Ange Postecoglou in 2022, but had never hidden his desire to play in the Premier League.

Maeda scored 79 goals for Celtic and won five Premiership titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.
