Celtic Close In on Horkas as Hogh Deal Nears Completion

Celtic are moving on multiple transfer fronts this summer, with a record-breaking striker deal virtually done and a goalkeeper target from Spain's second division firmly in their sights.
Record fee for Hogh
The Scottish club have agreed a fee in excess of £11 million with Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt for 25-year-old striker Kasper Hogh — a record transfer outlay for Celtic. The deal represents a significant financial commitment from the Glasgow club as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Hogh was set to travel to Scotland on Saturday night to finalise the move, with reports indicating he will put pen to paper on a four-year contract that includes an option for a fifth year.
Goalkeeper talks intensify
Alongside the Hogh deal, Celtic have stepped up negotiations with Las Palmas over Croatian goalkeeper Dinko Horkas, 27. The talks between the two clubs have grown more serious in recent days, raising the prospect of a second major signing in quick succession.
Other transfer developments
Celtic's interest in AEK Athens left-back James Penrice appears to have cooled, with an initial approach not having been followed up and a transfer now considered unlikely to happen.
Meanwhile, Lazio have placed a £13 million price tag on winger Matteo Cancellieri, 24, who has been identified as a Celtic transfer target. That valuation may test the Glasgow club's resolve to pursue the Italian-based player.
Elsewhere in Scottish football, Vaclav Cerny — linked with a return to Rangers — could be available for around £8.6 million from Besiktas, though the Turkish club's willingness to sell is said to depend partly on whether they successfully land Mohamed Salah.
Three Major League Soccer clubs — New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes, and LA Galaxy — are reportedly considering a £375,000 bid for St Mirren midfielder Killian Phillips, 24.
Aberdeen have received encouraging news in their pursuit of defender Jadel Katongo, 21, after Kayerispor agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, potentially freeing him up for a move to Pittodrie.
Finally, New Zealand goalkeeper Alex Paulsen, 24, who has joined Motherwell on loan from Bournemouth, has revealed he came close to signing for Hibernian a year ago before the move fell through.
