Kasper Høgh Shines in Champions League Match
Kasper Høgh scored the third goal for Bodø/Glimt in their impressive 3-0 victory over Sporting CP during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on March 12, 2026. This win marked a historic moment as Bodø/Glimt became the first Norwegian side to progress in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The match showcased a strong performance from Bodø/Glimt, with goals also coming from Sondre Fet and Ole Blomberg. Høgh’s contribution was pivotal, adding to his growing reputation as a key player for the team.
In the 2025 Eliteserien season, Høgh had an impressive record, scoring 17 league goals and providing 5 assists across 28 appearances. His ability to create chances, with 19 noted in the same season, has made him a standout player.
Frode Thomassen, Bodø/Glimt’s coach, praised Høgh, 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.” This highlights Høgh’s importance to the team and his potential for future success.
Recently, Høgh was linked with a transfer to Celtic, who made an enquiry for him at the end of January 2026. Reports suggest that Bodø/Glimt could demand between 6 to 10 million pounds for the talented forward, depending on the offer and Høgh’s willingness to leave.
Thomassen commented on the transfer situation, saying, “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.” This indicates that while the club values Høgh, they are open to negotiations if the circumstances are right.
As Høgh continues to make headlines in the Champions League, having already scored against teams like Manchester City, observers are keen to see how his career unfolds. His performance in the current tournament could significantly impact his future, both with Bodø/Glimt and potentially at a larger club.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any imminent transfer, but Høgh’s rising profile suggests that he will be a player to watch in the coming months.
