Real Oviedo's Egypt striker Haissem Hassan, 24, has become a priority signing target for Celtic, according to reports. Celtic's manager Stephen Robinson is actively reshaping the Aberdeen squad and has expressed interest in the 24‑year‑old forward.

Fearful of squad stagnation, Robinson also anticipates departures from Pittodrie "in the coming weeks," signalling a broader overhaul. Meanwhile, Motherwell has agreed to sell winger Elliot Watt, 26, to Turkish side Samsunspor for a fee in excess of £1 million.

New additions to Aberdeen—Amadou Ba‑Sy, MJ Kamson‑Kamara, Josh Mc Pake and Beau Reus—are not listed in the 22‑man squad for the upcoming Champions League qualifying tie against Austrian club Sturm Graz.

The transfer window remains crowded, with clubs across Scotland and Europe eyeing talent. Celtic’s focus on Haissem Hassan underscores the club’s intent to strengthen the attack while balancing squad dynamics.
