Old Firm bid for wingers as Anderlecht hold Ferry talks - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reported that several clubs in Scotland are active in the transfer market, with Celtic, Rangers and Anderlecht all linked to possible moves. The roundup said Celtic have submitted an offer for Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan, 24, while Oviedo are expected to accept a fee that was described as around £9m, with final details still to be completed. The report also said Celtic are still seeking a goalkeeper and a left-back.

Rangers were said to have bid £6m for PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech, 24. According to the gossip item, the player has not yet agreed personal terms, though he is open to the move, and the two clubs are trying to reach an agreement. The article added that Celta Vigo are also believed to be confident of winning the race for Driouech.

The same roundup said Anderlecht are in advanced talks with Dundee United over left-back Will Ferry, 25, and are preparing a bid worth about £2.2m. Blackburn Rovers were also mentioned as showing interest. The item further noted that Dundee United midfielder Abdoulaye Yoro may be unavailable for Sunday’s match at Hearts, and that Hearts had to make enforced substitutions in their recent defeat by Benfica.

As background, the story is part of BBC Sport’s regular transfer gossip coverage, which relays reported bids and interest from other outlets rather than confirming completed deals.
