Kasper Høgh Shines as Bodo/Glimt Advances in Champions League
Kasper Høgh scored a crucial goal in Bodo/Glimt’s 3-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League last-16 tie on March 12, 2026. This win not only secured Bodo/Glimt’s place in the quarter-finals but also highlighted Høgh’s remarkable performance, as he has now netted five goals in his last five Champions League matches.
The 25-year-old forward has been a standout player for Bodo/Glimt, having scored 17 league goals and provided five assists during the 2025 Eliteserien season. His impressive form has drawn attention from several clubs, including Celtic, who made an enquiry for Høgh at the end of January 2026. However, Celtic reportedly passed up on signing him for a fee between £6-10 million.
Høgh’s contributions were pivotal in Bodo/Glimt’s historic Champions League journey, where they became the first Norwegian side to progress beyond the group stages. The team has achieved notable victories against top clubs, including a brace scored by Høgh against Manchester City during the group stage.
Frode Thomassen, Bodo/Glimt’s managing director, expressed confidence in Høgh’s abilities, stating, “Kasper was the top scorer in the Europa League when we made a semi-final last spring but he is a really good footballer and a really good striker.” He also mentioned that the club does not have to sell players unless a compelling offer is made, indicating that Høgh’s asking price may have doubled or tripled ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite his impressive performances at the club level, Høgh has yet to receive a call-up to the Danish national team. This absence from international duty has raised questions about his future prospects, especially as he continues to excel in high-stakes matches.
Observers are keenly watching Høgh’s situation as the summer transfer window approaches. While he enjoys playing in Bodo, as noted by Thomassen, “Kasper enjoys playing in Bodo, but we will see,” the potential for a transfer remains a topic of discussion among fans and analysts alike.
As Bodo/Glimt prepares for the next round of the Champions League, the spotlight will undoubtedly remain on Kasper Høgh, whose performances could influence both his club’s success and his future career trajectory. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any imminent transfers, but the interest in Høgh is expected to intensify as the season progresses.
