Kasper Hogh in come and get me plea to Everton after Bodo Glimt heroics vs Manchester City
Everton could take what they’ve seen from Kasper Hogh as a sign to complete a move for Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh.
Norway-based former scout Bryan King has mooted Hogh as a potential striker target for Everton as David Moyes looks to add to his squad in January.
The Dane has scored 17 goals for the Norwegian outfit and could represent a new option for the Toffees after Romelu Lukaku was linked with an Everton return.
Wilson Isidor has also been mentioned at Everton, but these possible deals could quickly fall away on Merseyside because of one man.
The performance of Hogh against Manchester City in the Champions League could be enough for the Toffees to make a move happen in the two weeks of the window.
Kasper Hogh bags Bodo/Glint brace vs Manchester City
Thierno Barry netted a superb goal as Everton secured a 1-0 victory against Aston Villa, as his improved form continues in L4.
That isn’t to say that reinforcements wouldn’t be a massive boost at the Hill Dickinson Stadium after a patchy first half of the season.
Beto could soon be on his way out and he could soon be replaced by Hogh if the Toffees are to make a winter move this winter.
King called the potential £20million move before kick-off at Aspmyra Stadion, but the striker’s showing will have supporters salivating on Merseyside.
The Danish forward scored a first-half brace against Manchester City on Tuesday, with two excellent finishes breaching Gianluigi Donnarumma’s net.
He didn’t allow his goals to result in laziness as he put in a stunning shift to help Bodo/Glimt to take a 3-0 lead in the second half.
His interplay with fellow goalscorer Jens Petter Hauge was excellent throughout the clash, and that in itself could be enough to pique interest in L4.
What would Hogh add to Everton?
The 25-year-old played a key role as Bodo secured a 3-1 win against the Premier League giants and certainly put in a top performance.
Hogh scored with two of his three shots on goal, while having seven touches in the City penalty area throughout the clash.
He also won 100 per cent of his aerial duels on the day, a top ratio for a six-foot-one striker, but something Moyes will surely appreciate.
| Stat vs Manchester City | Kasper Hogh |
| Goals | 2 |
| Shots | 3 |
| Accurate passes | 13 |
| Touches in opposition box | 7 |
| Aerial duels won | 3 |
His ability to find the net and put himself about could make him a useful rotation option at Everton alongside Beto and Barry.
Hogh’s performance against Man City could represent the perfect audition as he shows any interested party why they should be signing him this month.
