Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Japanese winger Daisuke Yokota for a fee that could reach £3.4 million, with the player now a medical away from completing the move. The 26-year-old, who scored five goals and provided four assists for his 2. Bundesliga side last season, is set to join the Ibrox club on a verbal agreement worth an initial €3.3 million plus €700,000 in add-ons.
More new faces wanted at Ibrox
Manager Derek McInnes has called for more arrivals after Rangers opened their Premiership campaign with a 1-1 draw away to Dundee United. Following the loan enquiry for Scott McKenna, Olwethu Makhanya has already joined, but the boss wants further reinforcements. Talks have also taken place over a deal for Brighton's Amario Cozier-Duberry, while a loan move for Coventry City's Jahnoah Markelo has been linked.
Celtic eye Ghedjemis and more
Celtic began their season with a win but saw an opening offer for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis rejected. The club are prepared to return with an improved bid. Meanwhile, Alistair Johnston is nearing a £15 million move to Everton, West Ham are in talks for Arne Engels, and a move for Mika Baur is proving tricky. Interest in Torino's Gvidas Gineitis has also been revived.
Hearts, Aberdeen, and Dundee United updates
Hearts are recovering from Champions League disappointment and an opening-day defeat to Aberdeen, with Claudio Braga refusing to rule out a summer exit. Aberdeen remain in the hunt for Kayserispor defender Jadel Katongo, while Dundee United have completed the signing of Daniel Bennie from QPR.
