Feyenoord's January Transfer Pursuit: Igamane Loan Bid & Scottish Clubs' Deadline Day Moves

Feyenoord eye Rangers' Hamza Igamane in a loan-to-buy deal as Celtic finalize winger signings. Latest updates on Scottish clubs' transfer strategies, defensive reshuffles, and surprise exits across Europe's winter window.

Transfer Market Heats Up Across Europe

  • Feyenoord's Strategic Move: The Dutch giants are crafting a loan-with-option deal for Rangers' 21-year-old Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane, valued at €4m. This comes as manager Arne Slot seeks attacking depth for their Eredivisie title chase and Europa League knockout preparations. (Source: Algemeen Dagblad)

  • Rangers' Defensive Overhaul: Following Ridvan Yilmaz's £2m return to Besiktas, the Glasgow club negotiates a short-term loan for Roma's promising left-back Anass Salah Edinne. The 19-year-old Moroccan youth international could provide crucial cover during their Premiership title race. (Daily Record)

Celtic's Double Wing Play

  • Balikwisha Breakthrough: Parkhead officials finalize terms for Royal Antwerp's explosive winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha. The 22-year-old Belgian-Congolese speedster (8 G/A in 23/24) undergoes medicals ahead of a £3.5m move, while Antwerp's manager admits surprise at retaining him this long.

  • Tilio Exit Confirmed: Australian international Marco Tilio's £1.3m permanent move to Rapid Vienna concludes after a disappointing six-month Celtic stint. The reshuffle continues as 18-year-old Colby Donovan's Dundee loan hangs in balance due to Alistair Johnston's injury.

Scottish Football Domino Effect

  • Unexpected Departures: Dundee's Victor Lopez cuts his loan short for Queretaro FC, while Hibs miss out on retaining Sunderland's Nectarios Triantis, sold to Minnesota United for undisclosed fees.

  • Defensive Musical Chairs: Plymouth Argyle withdraw from Celtic's Stephen Welsh loan pursuit after securing Mathias Ross, forcing Brendan Rodgers to reconsider development plans for the 23-year-old center-back.

Veteran Voices

Hearts' Stephen Kingsley, limited to one start this season, declares: "I'm training like a 25-year-old - my best football's still ahead." The 31-year-old left-back aims to reclaim his spot in the Tynecastle backline.
