Today has been a day of mixed fortunes for Scottish teams in the transfer window.
Celtic’s first signing of the window has spoken about his move, Aberdeen will not be signing a former trialist and Rangers are closing in on two signings.
Here’s a quick look at today’s top transfer tales…
- Aberdeen have missed out on former trialist Sebastian Dolivo after the young Fin signed a two-year deal with KTP Kotka.
Dolivo, 19, spent time on trial with the Dons in December and was also linked with a move to Rangers.
- Celtic are chasing the signature of Molde striker Mohamed Elyounoussi.
The 21-year-old Norway international, who scored twice against Celtic in this season’s Europa League, has admitted that Celtic are keen to secure his signature. Elyounoussi would reportedly cost around £2 million. (Scottish Sun)
- Celtic are also favourites to sign Danish midfielder Rasmus Falk from Odense.
The Hoops are hoping to land the 24-year-old for a cut price fee of £150,000 because he has only six months to run on his current contract at Odense.
However, the Hoops face competition from a number of German clubs as well as Lille, Malmo, Brondby and Midtjylland for the player’s signature. (Daily Mail)
