Norwich City’s pursuit of Danish striker Kasper Høgh has become more complex, with Ipswich Town and Wrexham now joining the race for the forward, as reported by Football League World. Under the revitalising management of Philippe Clement, the Canaries are keen to bolster their attacking options, particularly with uncertainty surrounding Josh Sargent’s future at Carrow Road. The American forward is reportedly contemplating a move to Major League Soccer side Toronto FC.
Earlier this week, Norwich made headlines by submitting an £8 million (€6.9 million) bid for Høgh, a move confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. This bid came just before Høgh delivered an impressive performance in the UEFA Champions League against Atletico Madrid, a display that has undoubtedly raised his profile among potential suitors.
As the situation develops, competition for the 25-year-old forward has intensified. Scottish club Celtic has been keeping a close eye on Høgh’s situation; however, the interest from Championship rivals Ipswich presents a significant challenge for Norwich. Kieran McKenna’s side is actively seeking a striking option to enhance their attacking lineup, which currently includes George Hirst, Ivan Azon, and Chuba Akpom. Høgh is now firmly on their radar as they explore various options, having previously considered Sam Surridge from Nashville and Joel Piroe of Leeds United.
Wrexham has also shown interest, as the ambitious club aims for a fourth consecutive promotion from the National League to the Premier League. Under Phil Parkinson's management, Wrexham is eager to strengthen their attacking capabilities to bolster their play-off ambitions. The club has been linked with players such as Adam Armstrong and Sidiki Cherif, but Høgh has emerged as a key target as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
As Bodø/Glimt prepares for a crucial Champions League play-off tie against Serie A giants Inter Milan, the Norwegian club’s resolve may soon be tested. With rising interest from multiple EFL clubs, the coming days could prove pivotal in determining Høgh’s next destination.
