The Scottish Premiership’s January transfer window is now active. Here are the most recent Scottish transfer headlines.
A rumored Celtic target is getting closer to making an EPL move.
Evan Ferguson, a striker linked to Celtic, is getting closer to leaving Brighton on loan this January. After sustaining an ankle injury earlier in the season, the Republic of Ireland international has only made two appearances for the Seagulls this year. It was reported that his parent club was pleased to approve a loan transfer so the 20-year-old could get back to playing fitness, with Celtic Park being mentioned as a potential destination.
Don Goodman, a Sky Sports analyst and a lifelong supporter of the Glasgow giants, recently stated that he thought Ferguson might be enticed by a temporary transfer to Celtic during the January transfer window, but it now appears like he will remain in the English Premier League, according to Fraser Fletcher of TeamTalk. West Ham United and Leicester City, who can give Ferguson regular playing time, are interested in the Irishman. According to reports, both teams have contacted the player’s agent in an attempt to negotiate a deal.
Hearts are connected to a double bargain, but one leaves.
After signing striker Elton Kabangu on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday, Hearts head coach Neil Critchley plans to make more transfers this week. After Stephen Kingsley and Frankie Kent were declared out for the upcoming weeks, the English manager is searching for defensive reinforcements, and Jamie McCart, a defender for Rotherham United, is reportedly at the top of his wish list. McCart has signed to a pre-contract arrangement to join Hearts this summer, according to the Edinburgh Evening News. However, the club intends to move the transaction along quickly and submit an offer that will bring him to Scotland this month.
The Jambos have reportedly expressed interest in Kilmarnock winger Danny Armstrong this month as well, but after hearing of the Edinburgh club’s interest from BBC Radio Humberside, they might instead focus on Ryan Longman of Hull City. In other news, the team has confirmed that Andres Salazar, a summer acquisition, has left Tynecastle and returned to parent club Atletico Nacional after playing just one game for the team.
Demand for a Celtic hero
According to reports, Newcastle United has joined the list of English Premier League teams interested in signing Nicolas Kuhn, a forward for Celtic, this month. After scoring 14 goals in 25 games for the Scottish champions this season, the £30 million winger has attracted the attention of the St James Park administration.
Kuhn, who was only £3 million to sign from Rapin Wien last January, has been Celtic‘s best player this season. He has already been linked to Brentford and Fulham, and if his play holds up, he might get called up for the first time to the German national squad. The German star’s ability to play anywhere throughout the forward line is said to be a key component of Kuhn’s transfer desire. The 25-year-old is being closely watched by Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton, so if the Magpies decide to make a move this month, they will face fierce competition.
The Megabucks Euro transfer of an ex-SPFL striker
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano predicts that Mika Biereth, a former Motherwell loan star, will make a surprise, high-profile move to a UEFA Champions League powerhouse this January. Before being called up by parent club Arsenal, the 21-year-old scored six goals in 15 games during his first half of the previous season while on loan at Fir Park. After signing a permanent contract with Sturm Graz in the summer, the Danish under-21 international left the Gunners for a reported £4 million. Since then, he has continued to score goals in the Austrian Bundesliga, tallying 14 this season.
Numerous elite European teams have apparently taken notice of his performance for Sturm Graz, and Ligue 1 powerhouse AS Monaco is rumored to have initiated talks with his club in an attempt to sign the former Gunner this month. Biereth “wants” to move to Monaco and has “already agreed” to do so, according to Romano, and negotiations are currently taking place between the two parties to determine a price.
Rangers are advised to sign the 107-cap veteran, as the former favorite is expected to make a surprise comeback.
Kris Boyd, a former Rangers striker, thinks Philippe Clement should focus on experience during the January transfer window. Ianis Hagi, Robin Propper, and Danilo scored goals to give Rangers a decisive victory at Ibrox on Thursday, as the Belgian head coach guided his team to a 3-0 triumph against rivals Celtic. However, despite that victory, Rangers’ poor start to the season has left them 11 points behind the Hoops in the fight for the championship, and Boyd identified one player he thinks would be a great acquisition this month.
Boyd informed Sky Sports that the back four was patched up due to their injuries. Nathan Patterson is rumored, but until the end of the season, I can’t help but consider someone like Jonny Evans. I recall a time in the past when we were like this. I am aware that it was a few years ago, but individuals like Davie Weir and Ugo Ehiogu came. It wasn’t just the professionalism they showed you every day, off the field as well. How to train and how to enjoy your life. simply existing in that setting, having leadership skills, and being able to guide others.
When I look at Jonny Evans, I think that he might not be around for much longer because his contract with Manchester United expires in the summer. that earlier encounter. In order to stabilize it on the field and around the training facility, Philippe Clement has discussed bringing in young players and helping them grow.
In other news, former Rangers forward Ryan Kent may be making a spectacular comeback to Ibrox following the recent termination of his contract at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish publication BBO Sports stated on X that the 27-year-old attacker will “return to Rangers” this month.
