Celtic 'embarrassment' as rival club uncover 'secret' clause
The Hoops had been on the trail of the Danish striker since last year while other clubs have been interested too.

Surprising Mathias Kvistgaarden transfer and contract details go public after Celtic made one thing abundantly clear
Surprising Mathias Kvistgaarden transfer and contract details go public after Celtic made one thing abundantly clear The Danish international is set to make a move to the English Championship after admiring glances from the Hoops (Image: UEFA via Getty Images ) Brondby star Mathias Kvistgaarden is on the brink of a switch to Norwich City with the English Championship side set to land an early summer bargain. It comes after Celtic dropped their long-standing interest in the Danish hitman. Kvistgaarden was on the radar of the Scottish champions last summer when Parkhead chiefs explored the prospect of an £8m move last summer. That was before Adam Idah arrived at the club on a £9million permanent switch from the Canaries after a successful loan spell in Glasgow's east end. In January a striker was once again on the agenda after the £10million departure of Kyogo Furuhashi to Stade Rennes - but a deal for the 23-year-old failed to get off the ground. But after Kvistgaarden declared he was "ready" to leave Brondby this summer he looks set to get his wish with Tipsbladet claiming a switch to Carrow Road is imminent. Article continues below An initial fee of £6.9million will be paid out to the Danes but the fee could rise to £7million with bonuses that have been negotiated in the deal. These include the number of games Kvistgaarden played for Norwich, and it helped the club return to the Premier League. Despite lowering their bumper £11million asking price from the winter window, Record Sport understands the Hoops would have not made a summer move at any price. Brondby striker Mathias Kvistgaarden Celtic's interest cooled on the move as they switched attention to other targets amid reservations about the player's fit at Celtic Park. One of those is Napoli's Giuseppe Ambrosino - who is reportedly on the Scottish Premiership champions's radar after a successful season on loan at Serie B side Frosinone. The 23-year-old could make the move on loan with an option for the Glasgow giants to make the deal permanent next summer. Italian transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio claims the frontman is "keen" on the move to Celtic despite interest from other Serie A clubs with the "situation evolving" after an initial approach by Cagliari.

Celtic-linked striker ‘agrees bumper transfer to England' with medical set to seal move
CELTIC have already added five new players in the summer transfer window. But it appears their attempts to make it a sixth will have to wait, with one of their top targets believed to be heading elsewhere. 3 Celtic are reportedly set to miss out on a top target in attack Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 Mathias Kvistgaarden has been on the Hoops' radar for a long time Credit: Getty 3 The Danish forward has a lot of suitors after scoring 23 goals for Brondby last season Credit: Getty 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. Nygren 'will be Hoops' best transfer this summer' plus Kuhn, Yamada latest | Celtic transfer special "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."

The reason Celtic pulled out of Kvistgaarden transfer race amid Calvert-Lewin 'attention' and Strelec pitch
The Danish international is set to move to Norwich City having previously been on Celtic's radar Brondby star looks set to seal a move to Norwich City in the coming days - after Celtic dropped their long-standing interest in the striker. The Danish hitman was on the radar of the Scottish champions last summer when Parkhead chiefs explored the prospect of an £8m move before bringing in Adam Idah on a £9million permanent switch from the Canaries. Following the departure of Kyogo Furuhashi in January a move for the 23-year-old was again floated - but a deal failed to get over the line Brondby standing firm on their £12million valuation. This summer, Kvistgaarden declared he was ready to leave Denmark behind stating: "I think I'm ready. I've made my mark at Brondby and in the Superliga, so I'm ready to take the next step." Now Tipsbladet report that Norwich are leading the race for a deal with Kvistgaarden keen on the switch to Carrow Road after Lens pulled out of the race. Despite dropping their interest in the Dane, a striker is still on the agenda for Brendan Rodgers, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin touted as a target after the 28-year-old's Everton contract expired. The Shields Gazette report that Sunderland are currently in pole position to land the free agent but face a challenge from Scotland with the England international "attracting attention" from the Hoops. Slovan Bratislava star David Strelec was subject of a £7.5m offer from the Hoops in January - with the Slovakian champions holding out for £9million - but hasn't been shy in opening the door to a Celtic switch this summer. But Ajax are reportedly currently leading the race for the frontman this summer. Voetbal Primeur claim that the Dutch side are "considering" an offer to Slovan and have entered talks with Strelec's camp to pitch a move.
