Celtic are "in talks" to sign Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh, according to a new report.

The Scottish champions have held a long-term interest in the Denmark international and made an enquiry for him in January.

Now, Sky Sports are reporting that Martin O'Neill's side have re-entered discussions with the Norwegian side, managed by Kjetil Knutsen, surrounding the forward's availability.

Norwich City also made a £6.9m bid for Hogh in the January transfer window, but the 25-year-old decided to stay with the Norwegian club for their run in the Champions League knockouts,

Hogh has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal, and has scored seven goals, while providing five assists in 12 league appearances.

He has also made an impact in Europe, scoring key goals against Inter Milan and Manchester City in the Champions League.

On Wednesday, he was benched by Knutsen for Bodo/Glimt's match against HamKam, though the experienced manager calmed speculation by insisting the change was purely rotational. "The match today is a step in the right direction," he said. "The group has worked hard.

"We have had some [players] who have not been here, because they have been involved in other fun things [the World Cup], but the group has done extremely well.

“The whole group is signing up; they need to be ready. We have to work a little and change our players."
