Hearts have moved to sign Algerian winger Sabri Ghuendouz, a free transfer from Ligue 2 side Le Havre. The 23‑year‑old, who netted 12 goals last season, will join the Tynecastle squad once paperwork clears. Hearts hope his pace adds depth to a floundering right flank and provide a fresh attacking option for manager Robbie.

Celtic’s scouting network has identified Colombian forward Camilo Duran as a potential addition. The 21‑year‑old impressed during a recent loan spell at Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton, scoring five times in ten appearances. Manager Ange Postecoglou reportedly values Duran’s versatility, viewing him as a long‑term solution to replace departing striker Kyogo Furuhashi, and could earn a senior Scotland call‑up if he maintains form.

The two pursuits underscore a broader trend of Scottish clubs relying on inexpensive overseas talent amid tighter budgets. Hearts’ acquisition follows a series of low‑cost signings that have steadied their league position, while Celtic’s Duran hunt reflects a shift away from high‑profile purchases. Both clubs aim to solidify their squads before the January window closes, moves signal intent to challenge the Firm dominance.
