Everton have perfect chance to sign Kasper Hogh after yet another Champions League goal; release clause detailed

Everton will need to sign a striker in the summer, and Kasper Hogh is one name that has been linked with the Toffees.

This season, the inconsistencies and poor form of both Beto and Thierno Barry have let David Moyes down on multiple occasions.

Overall, the striking pair have contributed to just eight Premier League goals in a combined 52 appearances so far.

The Blues’ hunt for a European place could have been made much easier had they had that prolific goalscorer leading the line.

It is clear that a new number nine is the priority, and after his Champions League heroics for Bodo/Glimt, Everton have the perfect chance to snap up Hogh after he scored once again.

Kasper Hogh continues red-hot Champions League form

There may be many out there who are not keen on the idea of signing a striker from the Norwegian league, with questions surrounding the quality that Hogh faces.

However, in the Champions League, the 25-year-old has certainly allayed any of those fears with his performances.

In the 2025-2026 Champions League, the Norwegian striker has scored four goals and assisted three in just nine appearances.

Those contributions include games against Juventus, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and most recently Inter Milan. Not exactly easy or low-quality opposition.

In the play-off round last night, Bodo/Glimt produced another shock in Europe, as they beat Serie A leaders Inter 3-1, with Hogh at the centre of the action.

The Everton-linked striker scored against the Black and Blues and provided the assist for the other two goals.

At the very top level, the centre-forward is proving to be a very capable striker and is a player Moyes should certainly take a look into bringing to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

A deal for Hogh could be completed quickly in the summer, as the Eliteserien side have inserted a release clause into the player’s contract.

As previously revealed by Bryan King, speaking to Goodison News, the Bodo/Glimt frontman could be bought for £20million.

This package includes a £15m base fee and a further fee of around £5m in potential add-ons.

In a market where the top strikers are going for extortionate prices, Moyes could find himself securing one of the bargains of the summer.
