Sevelj Set to Leave Dundee United for Neftci Baku as Scottish Transfer Window Heats Up

2 hours ago·2 min

Vicko Sevelj is closing in on a move to Azerbaijani club Neftci Baku after Dundee United agreed a fee for the 25-year-old utility player, according to The Courier. Sevelj was absent from Dundee United's victory over Kilmarnock on Saturday, having been granted permission to travel to Baku for a medical and contract negotiations.

Meanwhile, Anderlecht have revived their interest in Dundee United left-back Will Ferry, with journalist Sacha Tavolieri reporting that the Belgian club are in active negotiations with the Scottish Premiership side for the 25-year-old.

Rangers activity dominates the headlines

Rangers are closing in on Venezuela striker Kevin Kelsy, with the 22-year-old's transfer from Portland Timbers held up only by a pending UK visa, medical, and work permit clearance, per transfer reporter Ekrem Konur. Portland Timbers head coach Liam Ridgewell spoke positively about Kelsy ahead of the move, describing the forward as a "strong, powerful striker" who would not be fazed by the reported £9m price tag attached to the deal.

Rangers have also made clear to Monaco that acquiring winger Djeidi Gassama will not come cheap. The Scottish giants reportedly rejected offers of around £6m from Monza and Parma for the 22-year-old and have told Monaco a bid exceeding £8.5m would be required to open serious discussions, according to Foot Mercato.

Additionally, Ferencvaros have set a minimum asking price of £5.1m for Haiti striker Lenny Joseph, with Rangers among those monitoring the 25-year-old. Other clubs are also understood to be tracking the situation, Foot Mercato adds.

Goalkeeper links and St Mirren business

Celtic could be in the market for a new goalkeeper after Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Cesar Peixoto informed 33-year-old England international Sam Johnstone that he has no future at Molineux, the Glasgow Times reports. Johnstone is said to be under consideration at Celtic Park.

St Mirren, meanwhile, appear to have concluded their own business. The club reached an agreement to sign Serbian striker Niko Agrafiotis from German third-tier side Wehen Wiesbaden, with the 26-year-old having passed a medical and set to make his debut against Motherwell on Sunday, per the Scottish Sun.
