Rangers ‘keen’ on Arsenal star but Aston Villa likely to swoop as West Ham move ‘ended’ for former Celtic hero

With many deals still in the works, the January transfer window will close in less than 12 hours. Following his sighting at Glasgow

Airport, Adam Idah of Norwich City is expected to make an announcement to Celtic in the next several hours.

Idah, 22, is a very powerful force in the EFL Championship and has already made 22 appearances for the Republic of Ireland, scoring

three goals. Undoubtedly, Brendan Rodgers had been searching for ways to increase his possibilities for scoring goals, and he

managed to pounce on Idah in spite of England’s and Europe’s mounting interest.

Meanwhile, Rangers’ hopes of signing Brazil’s Jefte are starting to fade, so they will have to immediately reevaluate. Here is the most

recent information from the SPFL as we approach the few hours before all talks are put on hold till the summer.

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Lino Sousa from Arsenal on a permanent move (Fabrizio Romano). The Football transfer guru

posted on his Twitter account that there was an “agreement in place for the 2005-born fullback

who’s set to complete medical in the next hours.”

Rangers, Galatasary, and Juventus were all interested in Sousa; nevertheless, on the last day of play, the Villans have struck gold.

Football Insider reports also state that Unai Emery’s roster for the 2023–24 season would not include the new left-back, who will

instead be sent out on loan to Plymouth Argyle. If the Portugal-born England-U19 international wants to succeed at Villa Park, he will

then have to push out both Lucas Digne and Alex Moreno.

West Ham United’s chances of signing Jota have officially been dashed by Al-Ittihad. The 24-year-old former Celtic winger would have

to pay a substantial amount of tax to HMRC if he returned to Britain after receiving

a tax-free income in the Middle East (Nawaf Oga on X).

David Moyes’s side had been hopeful of securing the services of the ex-Hoops star after Jota had been iced out of the squad in the

Saudi Pro League due the competition’s rule on the number of international stars in each squad. Goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe and

forward Romarinho were crossed off Al-Ittihad’s list, leaving open the spot for Jota to come back in to the mix.

A post from Rudy Galetti’s X account also indicated that Ahmed Hegazy would also be brought back into the squad.
