Rangers ‘agree fee’ for versatile midfielder while Celtic’s pursuit of Premier League ace could still be on.
Celtic continued their ascent to the Scottish Premiership title after their most recent 3-0 triumph over St. Mirren.
Despite leading the league by eight points, Brendan Rodgers’ club is still ahead of their fierce rivals, the Rangers, since this season is unpredictable.
The Gers can close the gap to just two points with two pivotal games left, perhaps applying pressure to the reigning champions.
As they attempt to bolster their rosters during the January transfer window, both teams have been connected to a
number of possible new players. Since we’ve already covered more than half of the story, let’s review some of the most recent rumors.
Rangers have ‘agreed a fee’ to sign midfielder Mohamed Diomande from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland.
That’s according to local outlet B.T, who report that the 22-year-old is due to fly home from the club’s US training camp on Sunday to undergo a medical at Ibrox ‘in the coming days’.
Diomande’s contract is due to expire at the end of 2024 but Rangers are looking to secure his services much earlier.
The Superliga rising star is extremely versatile — he is a central midfielder by trade but can operate in a more attacking role, including at centre-
forward and even left-wing. Diomande contributed seven goals and four assists for Nordsjaelland last season.
Celtic Premier League signing could still be on
Celtic have been linked with a move for Liverpool’s Owen Beck, who spent the first half of the season on loan with Dundee FC.
The 21-year-old was recalled in the new year as Jurgen Klopp faces a defensive injury crisis, but the Hoops remain interested in signing Beck.
According to Record Sport, if Rodgers and company’s first loan offer to Beck is rejected, they might then try to sign him permanently.
A alternative left-back to challenge Greg Taylor is reportedly on the manager’s wish list, but this will depend on whether Klopp decides to include
the youthful player for his Liverpool side in the absence of Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson. Considering that it is expected that both would recover from their
injuries by February, Celtic’s strategy might just be lucky.
