Norwich City made a bold move just before Bodo/Glimt hosted Manchester City in the Champions League, submitting a bid to the Norwegian club for their star striker Kasper Høgh. The timing of the approach was notable, coming ahead of one of the biggest matches in Glimt’s recent history and underlining the level of interest the player has generated.
Høgh then delivered a performance that justified the attention, scoring twice against City and demonstrating that he belongs at the highest level of the game. His display highlighted why Norwich were prepared to test Glimt’s resolve, even if the move always appeared ambitious given the striker’s current trajectory.
Norwich’s ambition meets reality
--------------------------------
With all due respect to the English second division side, there is a strong sense that Høgh should be competing at a higher level than the Championship. That said, a move to Norwich cannot be entirely dismissed. English football offers financial power that few leagues can match, and the Canaries would be capable of offering him a significantly higher salary than he currently earns in Norway.
It has been suggested that Norwich could comfortably triple his wages at Glimt, which goes some way towards explaining why they felt confident enough to submit an offer. Financial incentives often play a decisive role in transfers, and this remains one of the few factors working in Norwich’s favour.
Growing interest after standout display
---------------------------------------
Høgh has been a key figure for Glimt, and his performance against Manchester City ensured that a wider audience took notice of his qualities. Such exposure is likely to attract interest from bigger clubs across Europe, which inevitably weakens Norwich’s position. Increased competition for his signature would make it far more difficult for a Championship side to conclude a deal.
According to [Sporten](https://sporten.com/misset-signering-av-bodo-glimt-stjerne-na-stikker-selveste-barcelona-av-med-klubben-storste-talent/), there is no chance that Høgh will join Norwich. The report adds that his manager has already dismissed the suggestion of a transfer and insists that his leading striker will not be leaving the club anytime soon. That stance reflects Glimt’s determination to retain one of their most important players as interest continues to grow.
