Horkas to join Hogh at Celtic - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish gossip round-up reports that Celtic are moving on multiple transfer fronts, with striker Kasper Hogh and goalkeeper Dinko Horkas the main names linked. Citing the Scottish Sun, the round-up says Celtic have reached agreement with Bodo/Glimt on a fee of more than £11m for Hogh, a figure described as a club record. Luca Bendoni is cited as reporting that the 25-year-old was expected to travel to Scotland on Saturday night to finalise the transfer and sign a four-year deal, with an option for an extra season.

The same BBC roundup cites Spanish outlet La Provincia as saying Celtic have stepped up discussions with Las Palmas over 27-year-old Croatian goalkeeper Dinko Horkas, who has been playing in Spain’s second tier. No fee, contract length or completion date for that potential move is provided in the supplied report.

Other Celtic-related items in the roundup suggest some targets may be less likely. Ben Jacobs is cited as reporting that an initial approach for AEK Athens left-back James Penrice has not been advanced and is now not expected to develop. The Glasgow Times is cited for Lazio’s reported £13m valuation of winger Matteo Cancellieri, another player previously linked with Celtic.

The roundup also includes wider Scottish football transfer notes, including reported MLS interest in St Mirren midfielder Killian Phillips, Aberdeen’s pursuit of defender Jadel Katongo after his Kayserispor exit, and Alex Paulsen’s comments about previously coming close to joining Hibernian. As a gossip article, the BBC item attributes these claims to other outlets and does not present them as completed deals unless specifically stated.
