A deal for the Frosinone winger is reportedly underway still on the card for scottish premier league The Serie B side are insisting on a fee of £6 million at this time, ahead of the deadline.

The Danish number nine has scored three goals in his last two Champions League games against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, with the Hoops among the teams vying for his services.
Celtic identify Casper Hogg replacement
Latest update on SportsBoom statement EFL Championship side Norwich City are currently leading the race to sign the Bodo/Glimt attacker before the deadline.
The Canaries are said to have submitted a £7m bid in an attempt to sign the elite star as they prepare for life without Josh Sargent, meaning the Hoops must make contingency plans.
With Hogg potentially on his way to East Anglia, in the same move as former Boyz target Matthias Kvistgarden made last summer, the Scottish giants are looking to find a new striker closer to home.
According to SportsBoomCeltic have identified Motherwell center Tawanda Masvanshis as a target should Hogg complete a move to Norwich in the coming days.
According to reports, the Zimbabwe international will sign with the Hoops if they decide to sign him as a replacement for Denmark’s main force.
The report adds that both Celtic and Rangers are monitoring the 23-year-old attacker, who can play out wide or through the centre, ahead of a possible final transfer window.
SportsBoom also revealed that while Motherwell would not want to lose their star forward midway through the season, a transfer fee of around £5 million could be enough to tempt them to part ways with him.
Why Celtic should sign Tawanda Masvanshis
The Hoops should forget about signing Hogg ahead of Norwich City as this report suggests they could sign Masvanshis for £2m less than the £7m the Canaries offered the Danish forward.
Maswanshis would be an ideal replacement for the Bodo/Glimt star as he has performed well this season and is a proven Premier League player who can step in and get to work immediately without having to adapt to country and league.
While Hogg is an exciting prospect on paper, given his 17 Elite League goals in 2025 and recent performances in the Championship, he has never played in Scotland before and may need time to adapt to the Premier League, if at all.
However, Maswanshis is joint top scorer in the Premier League in the 2025/26 season, scoring 11 goals in 20 appearances for Motherwell and scoring 16 goals in all competitions.
This 23-year-old star, “Absolutely live wires” Analyst Kai Watson has shown he can score regularly in Scotland’s top flight, averaging once every 143 minutes.
As you can see in the table above, he has four more goals than Daizen Maeda and as many as midfielder Benjamin Nygren, suggesting he may be one of the biggest goalscoring threats in O’Neill’s team.
This means he will bring a level of quality to the league that Hogg cannot, while also costing less, which is why he would be the perfect replacement for the Danish attacker.
So if the board can agree a deal with Motherwell to sign Masvanshis for £5m, then supporters shouldn’t be worried about Hogg joining Norwich this week.
