The January transfer window is now open, and several Scottish Premiership clubs are making moves to strengthen their squads. One player who has been linked with a move is Evan Ferguson, a striker who has been restricted to just two starts for Brighton this season due to an ankle injury. Ferguson, who is a Republic of Ireland international, has been rumored to be a target for Celtic, but it now appears that he will be staying in the English Premier League, with Leicester City and West Ham United both interested in signing him on loan.
Meanwhile, Hearts are looking to do some business in the transfer market, having already signed striker Elton Kabangu on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise. The club is also interested in signing Rotherham United defender Jamie McCart, who has agreed a pre-contract deal to join Hearts in the summer, but the club may try to accelerate the deal and bring him in this month. Hearts have also been linked with Kilmarnock winger Danny Armstrong, but may instead pursue Hull City’s Ryan Longman.
In other news, Celtic forward Nicolas Kuhn is in high demand, with several English Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United, interested in signing him. Kuhn has been in impressive form for Celtic this season, scoring 14 goals in 25 appearances, and his versatility has made him a attractive target for several clubs.
Former Motherwell loan star Mika Biereth is also set to make a big move, with Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco reportedly opening negotiations with his club, Sturm Graz, to sign him this month. Biereth has been in impressive form for Sturm Graz, scoring 14 goals this season, and has reportedly already agreed to make the switch to Monaco.
Finally, Rangers have been urged to sign experienced players in the January transfer window, with former striker Kris Boyd suggesting that the club should target someone like Jonny Evans, who is out of contract at Manchester United in the summer. Boyd believes that Evans’ experience and leadership would be a valuable addition to the Rangers squad, which has been struggling with injuries and inconsistent form this season. Additionally, there are rumors that former Rangers forward Ryan Kent could be set to make a sensational return to Ibrox after his contract was terminated at Fenerbahçe.
