Feyenoord could hijack Rangers transfer push

Dutch heavyweights Feyenoord could be set to snatch a sought-after Red Star Belgrade star Ebenezer Annan despite reports of interest from Rangers.The 22-year-old left-back has enjoyed an impressive season in the Serbian capital this year and had been the subject of reports linking him with a move to Rangers, according to the Scottish Sun.

However, the same outlet now believes Feyenoord are upping the ante on a potential deal after sending scouts to watch all of Annan’s last three games in Serbia’s top-flight.

The three-time Ghanaian international is reportedly valued at around £2m and was mooted to be a potential replacement for either Jefte or Ridvan Yilmaz.

Celtic transfer targets drops key transfer hint

Celtic-linked striker David Strelec has dropped a hint that he could be on the move this summer after firing in a hat-trick for Slovan Bratislava against Zilina. The 24-year-old helped his side lift the Slovakian title once again while also taking his goal tally to 23 for the season across all competitions, with 18 of those coming in the league.

Strelec, who played against Celtic in a 5-1 Champions League defeat earlier this term, was unhappy in January when his club priced him out of a £7 million move to Parkhead, with Middlesbrough also interested, according to The National.

He’s expected to be on the club’ shortlist again this term and Brendan Rodgers tries to assemble a squad ready for a fifth title defence, and Strelec’s latest comments suggest a move to Glasgow is possible.

"Everything is open in the summer. "I'm happy here, I'm at home here. It's always been my dream to play for Slovan. But I won't deny something could happen. We'll see how the communication with the club goes."
