Youssef Chermiti says he has no intention of leaving Rangers, who have placed a £20m price tag mobiles on his head amid reports of interest from Lyon. Daizen Maeda echoes his ambition to play in England’s Premier League as Celtic try to keep him. Nottingham Forest have submitted the first official offer of the summer for Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, while Roma and Villarreal are reportedly planning bids.

Manager Martin O'Neill says he is not aware of any fresh approach from Forest for Engels but notes Kelechi Iheanacho has been offered a new contract by Celtic, who are waiting for an answer from the 29‑year‑old striker. Other moves include Wolfsberger president Dietmar Riegler saying no offers have come in for Nikolas Polster despite Celtic interest, and the 18‑year‑old Filip Skorb attracting attention from both Lecce and Sturm Graz. Meanwhile, Swedish leaders Sirius have rejected a £3.3m offer from Lecce for in‑form Scottish striker Robbie Ure and believe they can obtain at least double that for the 22‑year‑old.
