Norwich City’s reported interest in striker Kasper Høgh is seemingly set to be hijacked by Hearts after the Danish hitman’s double in Bodo/Glimt’s stunning 3-1 Champions League win over Manchester City according to reports on the Sportsboom website

The Scottish Premiership league leaders are looking to replace the goals of captain and talisman Lawrence Shankland. The Scottish international is set to be sidelined for up to two months with a hamstring injury sustained in Hearts’ Scottish Cup exit against Falkirk earlier this month.

With Hearts' desperate to break the Glasgow title duopoly of Celtic and Rangers, the Tynecastle club have now turned their sights to hotshot hitman Hogh to help them become kings of Scottish football for the first time in 66 years.

Hearts had previously been linked with another highly-rated Scandinavian frontman Daniel Karlsbakk of Eliteserien club, it is understood Sarpsborg is now a target for Turkish club  Trabzonspor.

It does however remain to be seen though if they have sufficient funds to prise away the forward who represented Denmark below senior level. A question less likely to leveled at Norwich City now it has widely been stated in the press that Josh Sargent is unlikely to ever play for the club again as he seeks to force a move to Toronto in the MLS

Hogh, 25, netted a first half double against faltering Man City, overshadowing misfiring Erling Haaland, to further underline his potential, taking in the process his season’s goal tally to 20 and increasing his value.

Our Merseyside sources suggest Hogh is also on Everton’s radar. David Moyes’ side has managed only 24 league goals, making them one of the lowest scoring teams in the Premier League.
