Kasper Høgh scored the third goal for Bodø/Glimt in their 3-0 victory over Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, solidifying his impact on the match held on March 12, 2026.

Bodø/Glimt’s win was marked by goals from Sondre Fet, Ole Blomberg, and Høgh, showcasing the team’s offensive strength. This victory is particularly noteworthy as it marks Bodø/Glimt’s first time progressing in the knockout stages of the Champions League, a historic achievement for Norwegian football.

Høgh’s performance comes on the heels of a successful 2025 season, where he scored 17 league goals and provided 5 assists in the Eliteserien. His contributions were pivotal in leading Bodø/Glimt to success, including a semi-final appearance in the Europa League last spring.

Frode Thomassen, the team’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 endorsement highlights Høgh’s growing reputation in European football.

As interest in Høgh grows, he was previously linked with a transfer to Celtic, which made an inquiry at the end of January 2026. Reports suggest that Bodø/Glimt could demand between 6 to 10 million pounds for the talented forward.

In the 2025 season, Høgh made 28 appearances, created 19 chances, and won 18 fouls, demonstrating his all-around contribution to the team. His ability to influence matches has attracted attention from clubs beyond Norway.

Observers will be keen to see how Høgh’s performance in the Champions League affects his future, especially with potential transfer talks looming. While Bodø/Glimt has stated they do not need to sell any players, Thomassen noted, “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.”

As the Champions League progresses, Høgh’s role will be crucial for Bodø/Glimt as they aim to continue their historic run. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any imminent transfer, but the football community will be watching closely.
