Mathias Kvistgaarden has been on Celtic's radar for as long as two years, with multiple links and scouting missions in that time.
The Hoops missed out on the striker as a replacement for Kyogo Furuhashi in January.
And it had looked as though they would be beaten to their target this summer, as it was reported this week that French side Lens were set to swoop.
But a new report says that Kvistgaarden is instead set for a club down south.
Danish outlet Tipsbladet say that Norwich City have reached an agreement with Brondby over the transfer.
They say that only a medical now needs to be done before the move is completed.
The Dane will not travel with the rest of the Brondby team to Austria for pre-season, instead going to England tonight to seal his deal.
Celtic were urged to sign the striker by ex-Hoops ace Thomas Gravesen, who labelled him 'the next Henrik Larsson'.
Kvistgaarden scored 23 goals in 38 games in Denmark last season, drawing interest from a number of suitors.
Benjamin Schmedes, Brondby's sporting director, had said: "It doesn't surprise me that there is great interest in him from many teams, but I can't say that he is close to being sold or that he is far from being sold either.

"That's because it is an ongoing process and the most important thing is that we are very transparent in our dialogue with each other."

Joe Hart shocks Celtic fans as he shows off dramatic new look ahead of Parkhead return
He'll be making a stunning return to Celtic Park in September HAIR WE GO Joe Hart shocks Celtic fans as he shows off dramatic new look ahead of Parkhead return JOE HART will be back at Celtic Park in just a couple of months. But he'll be arriving with a very different look! Advertisement 4 Joe Hart in action for Celtic Credit: Alamy 4 The keeper's been showing off a new look Credit: AFP 4 Celtic fans were surprised to see his dramatic new appearance Hart, 38, enjoyed a trophy laden three years with Celtic between 2021 and 2024. After a frustrating few years, the former England No1 enjoyed a late career renaissance at Parkhead and proved one of Ange Postecoglou's best and most important signings. Hart, a two-time Premier League champion with Manchester City, added three Scottish Premiership titles to his impressive medal cabinet. He also won two Scottish Cups and two League Cups. Advertisement Hart dropped the bombshell news he was retiring back in February 2024, signing off at the end of the season with a league and cup double. Since calling it quits, Hart has moved into punditry and he's now one of the BBC's regular faces and voices across the network's coverage. But these days, he's sporting a rather different look! During his career, Hart sported a full head of blonde hair. Advertisement He was even the public face of a leading shampoo brand for a number of years. So Hoops fans were somewhat surprised to see him showing off a completely different look as he talked up his upcoming Parkhead return. Unseen Match of the Day footage shows how pundit analysis really works as BBC boss looks to cut highlights Hart, Tom Rogic and plenty more famous faces from Celtic's past will be there in September when a team of Hoops Legends take on a team of Man Utd Legends. But Hoops fans couldn't help but notice that Hart's blonde locks were now gone, with the former keeper instead sporting a shaved head. Advertisement One Celtic fan wrote: "I take it he has stopped doing the Head & Shoulders adverts." A second said: "Oh my, look at his head." Another simply asked: "Where is his hair?" While a fourth commented: "Big man, where's your barnet?" Advertisement 4 Others speculated that Hart may have been in the process of getting a hair procedure done - but he hasn't either confirmed or denied as much. The keeper recently sported his new look when he featured in Soccer Aid last month, with English footie fans similarly shocked by the bold new look.
