Rosenborg striker Casper Tengstedt is set to get his big move with Benfica closing in on a £8.3m swoop.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a stunning season so far with 15 goals and nine assists in 14 appearances and he was linked with a move to Celtic, who are in the market for a new striker after Record Sport revealed contract talks broke down with Giorgos Giakoumakis. Ange Postecoglou appeared to be eyeing Tengstedt as one potential replacement with South Korean Cho Gue-sung another option up front.
But it now seems Tengstedt is off the table as reports in Portugal and Norway say a move to Benfica is imminent. They are set to land him for 100million Norwegian Krone - which would be the equivalent of £8.3m. Having just joined Rosenborg in the summer for a fee in the region of £1m, they are expected to shatter their outgoing transfer record which currently stands at £7.5m for the deal that took John Carew to Valencia in 2001.
