According to TEAMtalk, Celtic, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace are among the clubs targeting a deal for Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Junker.
It’s claimed that Celtic and Derby County have been tracking Junker of late, but now a host of other British clubs are also interested.
Crystal Palace and West Brom want to take Junker to the Premier League, whilst Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Swansea City are prepared to offer Championship moves.
Who is Kasper Junker?
The 26-year-old has been travelling around Scandinavia over the years, turning out for Randers, AGF and AC Horsens in Denmark before heading to Norway with Stabaek and now Bodo/Glimt.
He had failed to really find a home before joining Bodo/Glimt, where he has scored a staggering 28 goals in 26 games, as well as 11 assists.
Junker appears to be something of a late bloomer, and his goal exploits in Norway may now lead to a big move to England or Scotland come January, just a year since his move to Bodo/Glimt.
Would he fit in at Celtic?
Celtic have four strikers already in Odsonne Edouard, Albian Ajeti, Leigh Griffiths and Patryk Klimala, so whilst Junker – who is well-built at 6ft 1in tall and possesses great pace to run of defenders – looks to be a fine goalscorer, he may not be a priority for Celtic unless Edouard goes.
West Brom would make more sense given their need for goals, with big summer signing Karlan Grant finding the net just once since his move from Huddersfield Town.
It’s unclear how much Junker would cost, but with Championship clubs keen, it may not be a huge fee needed for the prolific Dane.
