Transfer news - LIVE updates (2024)

Hamilton have signed Barry Maguire fro Motherwell.

The midfielder makes the move across Lanarkshire after his contract with the Steelmen came to an end and becomes John Rankin's second summer signing.

It’s great to get Barry in, he’s a really talented player with a great attitude," said Rankin. "You can tell he loves to play and gives you 100% on the park.

I’m looking forward to seeing him in with the squad, I think he adds to the already strong competition we have in the middle of the park, but also defensively where he can be versatile and slip into the back line comfortably.

Ian Murray has warned that Hibs are facing a massive rebuild and that the Easter Road club "don't have a much money as people think."

New boss David Gray has already lost goalkeeper David Marshall to retirement, and there is interest in forwards Elie Youan and Marton Boyle.

Former Hibees skipper Murray knows Gray has a big job on his hands this summer, and won;t have piles of cash despite investment from Bill Foley's Black Knights group.

He's been there, he's worked under three or four different managers now and earned those stripes," Murray told Fife Today.

Hibs obviously need a massive rebuild job, they really do.

It's not black and white and they don't have as much money as people think.

So David's got a really hard job on his hands. I wish him all the best in doing that, getting them back into that top half of the table and doing well.

Tanguy Ndombele has terminated his contract at Tottenham.

A club record signing from Lyon back in 2019, the midfielder has spent much of his time with the North london club out on loan, with spells back at Lyon, Napoli and Turkish ginats Galatasaray.

Liverpool have reportedly joned the race to sign Jeremie Frimpong.

The former Celtic star shone during a record breaking campaign for Bayer Leverkusen, who completed an unbeaten Bundesliga season and lifted the DFB Pokal under Xabi Alonso.

And with an apprent €40million release clause in his contract, interest in Frimpong is high and Arne Slot is just the latest big club boss to covet the former Man City youngster.

Son Heung-min has opened up on speculation over his Tottenham future.

The forward has one year left on his curretn deal as Ange Postecoglou gets ready for another summer window of activity - but the South Korea star has shot down suggestions that he could exit this summer.

I have not had any exchanges with the club. I don't have anything to say at this point. I feel a little uncomfortable with the situation. I am going to keep doing my best for Tottenham. I still have terms left on my contract. Money is not important to me. The most important thing is to play in a league that I enjoy playing in. I have so much more I want to accomplish in the Premier League.

Glentoran and Coleraine are both interested in Hibs defender Kyle McClelland.

The 22-year-old is going into the final year of his Easter Road contract.

McClelland had been deemed surplus to requirements at Hibs under Nick Montgomery.

It now remains to be seen if Daivd Gray re-opens the door.

McClelland has spent the last two seasons on-loan at Cove Rangers and Queen of the South.

The former Rangers youngster was named as the Doonhamers' player of the year last season.

Ipswich Town won’t be making a move for Rangers star Tom Lawrence.

The Premiership new boys had been linked with a move but sources close to the club have dismissed any interest.

The 30-year-old is going into the final year of his Rangers’ contract.

Lawrence had a long spell out last season but when he was fit Philippe Clement kept him heavily involved.

Martin Boyle is reportedly nearing a move to the A-League as he teased a Hibs exit.

The Hibees winger is a Socceroos international as he qualifies to play for them through family and has loved his time playing for the national team while being accepted as an honorary Aussie.

Now he looks set to take that a step forward with a move to Perth Glory on the cards. Football director at the Oz club revealed that talks were “continuing” to 10 News First Perth.

Following the win over Palestine, Boyle commented:

I am still contracted with Hibs and we will see what happens when I go back. I am going to enjoy a few weeks off and we will see what the future holds.

Manchester United academy graduate Omari Forson will join Monza when his contract expires at the end of this month, report The Mirror.

The 21-year-old joined the Championship on loan from St Johnstone back in February until the end of season 2023/ 24 and has now made a return to the club.

Kashima Antlers are reportedly considering an offer for Celtic misfit Yuki Kobayashi.

An unnamed French club put forward an offer for his services recently but were told to up their efforts to land the 25-year-old. Hibs spent around £700k for the player from St Gallen last year after an initial loan and would earn a tidy profit.

But the Scotsman now report that the club hierarchy believe Youan's worth is greater than the money on the table and they're holding out for their valuation.

Rangers should cash in on James Tavernier and Connor Goldson to fund a new deal for Jack Butland.

That is the view of Peter Grant - with the Celtic hero declaring that the goalkeeper is more important to the club that the skipper and centre-back stalwart. He told Go Radio:

I asked you the question what would Rangers fans think? Would you rather keep Butland or get money for the two boys and keep Butland?

Me personally, I would because I think a goalkeeper is vital for you and if I could give Jack Butland a few extra shillings to extend his contract I would definitely do that because I definitely think the manager looks at them and thinks I need something different.

I need defenders that are going to defend well and try to keep that level. For all the things he’s done going forward James Tavernier, you’ve still got to say there’s question marks about his defending.

I also think the same with Goldson so I think it’s definitely something Philippe Clement’s looked at and thought I need to improve that.

Newcastle United are set to end their goalkeeper pursuit with a potential £20m deal for Burnley’s James Trafford, according to a report.

The deal would free up 35-year-old Martin Dubravka, in whom Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been credited with an interest in twice at two different clubs, to seek a new challenge.

But HITC report that Newcastle have put talks with Burnley on hold.

And the Scotland star has hinted a return could be on the cards sooner rather than later.

Juventus remain interested in signing Jadon Sancho, with Borussia Dortmund unlikely to pay the £40million fee which Manchester United are demanding.

Sancho, 24, spent the second half of last season on loan at Dortmund, who want him back permanently but are tight for cash.

The goalkeeper is reportedly the TOP target for Brendan Rodgers this summer.

Ianis Hagi’s agent Victor Becali has floated a move to Fenerbahce - insisting that Jose Mourinho is a fan of the playmaker.

The Romania international is preparing for Euro 2024 - but looks set to return to Rangers following the tournament in Germany after an ill-fated loan spell with Alaves last season.

But speaking to Fanatik, Becali reckons a move to Turkey could be on the cards.

Currently we do not know anything concrete regarding the transfer of Ianis Hagi to Fenerbahce. You know very well what our relationship is with Jose Mourinho. At the moment there is nothing. But that does not mean that Ianis Hagi could not reach Fenerbahce

Mourinho has always liked Ianis Hagi. Always saw him as a high quality player. There are elections now at Fenerbahce. After things calm down, Mourinho also gets down to business and makes the transfer list.

We can’t confirm now that Ianis will end up at Fenerbahce, but anything can happen in the near future.

Manchester United's end-of-season review concluded Erik ten Hag deserves a chance to show what he is capable of within their new sporting structure., according to Sky Sports.

United have made a series of front-office appointments since INEOS's minority takeover, including the expected arrival of Newcastle's Dan Ashworth as sporting director.

All happening tonight, isn't it folks?

Scott McKenna has confirmed he is ready and willing to return to Scottish football as speculation mounts that he’s back on Brendan Rodgers’ shopping list.

The Celtic boss missed out on a big money bid for McKenna during his first stint in charge at Parkhead, before Nottingham Forest eventually weighed in with a £5m offer to take him from Aberdeen instead. A contractual dispute at the City Ground forced McKenna into accepting a six month loan deal with Champions League outfit FC Copenhagen at the turn of the year and he touched down here at the Euros on Sunday with his future still up in the air.

McKenna has been constantly linked with the Parkhead club throughout his time down south and Rangers were also believed to be in the running for his signature last summer. Now with Rodgers back in charge and McKenna available as a free agent, the 27-year-old admits he is more than open to offers.

Asked if he would be interested in finally bagging a big move to Celtic McKenna said he wouldn't rule it out...

Rangers and Celtic will both make offers for Scotland Euro 2024 star Tommy Conway - if he runs down the final 12 months of his Bristol City contract.

The 21-year-old, who is currently with Steve Clarke’s national team preparing for Friday’s opener against Germany, is going into the final year at Ashton Gate and talks over an extension have failed to come to fruition. Rangers and Celtic can sign Conway on a pre-contract in the new year and the English Championship would lose him for cross-border compensation for as little as £300,000. Both Glasgow giants are aware of the player’s situation and are both monitoring the situation very closely.

A move to Scotland would be City’s worst nightmare because if they were to sell him in England they would be able to demand a significant seven figure fee. It would to challenge for silverware and to play in Europe is also something that the Scotland new boy, who made his international debut against Finland on Friday, would consider.

The 34-year-old is a free agent after leaving recently relegated Livingston.

The attacking midfielder is waiting for initial interest to be firmed up, whether that be in the top-flight or with an ambitious Championship club.

I feel as good and fit as I ever have. I played a lot of games for Livingston last season. It wasn’t a great season for the team but individually I felt I did quite well. I had a wee injury and then I finished the season strongly, getting the winner against St Johnstone.

I feely, really good. I have looked after myself and I still believe that I can play in the Scottish Premiership. There has been a bit of interest from clubs and I just want to see what materialises, whether that be in the Premiership or an ambitious club in the Championship. It is just a case of waiting for that call to give you that opportunity and when I get it I will be raring to go.
