Kasper Høgh Shines in Champions League Match
Kasper Høgh scored the third goal for Bodø/Glimt in their decisive 3-0 victory over Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on March 12, 2026. This win marks a significant achievement for Bodø/Glimt, as they became the first Norwegian side to progress in the knockout stages of the prestigious tournament.
The match showcased Bodø/Glimt’s dominance, with goals from Sondre Fet, Ole Blomberg, and Høgh contributing to the team’s commanding performance. Høgh’s goal not only solidified the victory but also highlighted his growing reputation as a key player for the team.
In the 2025 Eliteserien season, Høgh had an impressive record, scoring 17 league goals and providing 5 assists over 28 appearances. His ability to create 19 chances and win 18 fouls further underscores his impact on the field. His performance in the Champions League follows a successful run where he was the top scorer in the Europa League during Bodø/Glimt’s semi-final appearance last spring.
Høgh’s talents have not gone unnoticed, as he was previously linked with a transfer to Celtic, who made an inquiry for him at the end of January 2026. Reports suggested that Bodø/Glimt was asking for between 6 to 10 million pounds for the forward, indicating his value in the current transfer market.
Frode Thomassen, the coach of Bodø/Glimt, praised Høgh’s abilities, 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 reflects Høgh’s importance to the team’s strategy and success.
Despite the interest from other clubs, Thomassen emphasized that the club does not need to sell any players but would consider offers if they are beneficial for both the player and the team. “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,” he remarked.
As Bodø/Glimt prepares for the next leg of the Champions League round of 16, observers are keen to see how Høgh will continue to perform on this international stage. His recent form suggests that he will be a critical asset in their pursuit of further success.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential transfer developments, but Høgh’s performance in the Champions League undoubtedly raises his profile in European football.
