Rangers agree fee for Japanese winger Yokota - gossip

What the report says
Rangers are reported to have agreed a deal to sign Japanese winger Daisuke Yokota from Hannover, with the move described as being worth up to €4m. The update comes from BBC Sport Football’s transfer gossip round-up, which cites external reporting rather than confirming the transfer itself. If completed, the signing would add another attacking option for Rangers as they continue shaping their squad.
The same roundup also says Celtic have rejected an enquiry from Osasuna for defender Kieran Tierney and are not interested in selling the Scotland international. Elsewhere, Celtic are said to have had a second bid for Arne Engels turned down by West Ham United, while the club is also linked with further midfield and goalkeeping targets in separate reports.
BBC Sport Football also notes that Rangers defender Ben Godfrey is expected to miss about four weeks after a hamstring injury in the draw with Dundee United. That setback adds to Rangers’ team concerns while transfer activity continues around both Glasgow clubs.
More broadly, the article reflects the late-summer transfer market in Scotland, where clubs are weighing incoming and outgoing moves and responding to interest from teams in England and abroad. The details should be treated as rumours or reported talks unless and until confirmed by the clubs involved.
