Adam Idah leaves as Celtic line up Sebastian Tounekti on Transfer Deadline Day

By Gavin McCafferty, PA

Adam Idah has completed his transfer deadline day move to Swansea as Celtic close in on the signing of Hammarby winger Sebastian Tounekti.

Swansea announced the signing of the Irish striker for a “significant undisclosed fee” which is reported to be about £6million, about two-thirds of the sum Celtic paid Norwich last summer.

The confirmation increases the pressure on the Celtic board to deliver at least one centre-forward after manager Brendan Rodgers insisted on Friday he could not sanction Idah’s transfer without a guaranteed replacement.

Attempts to sign Anderlecht forward Kasper Dolberg appeared to have stalled amid reports Ajax have launched a bid to take the Dane back to Amsterdam for a second spell.

Rodgers had confirmed on Friday he would be in the market for two central strikers if Idah departed and Celtic have been linked with a loan move for Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, who has had loan spells with Union Berlin, Burnley and Turkish side Goztepe in the past two seasons.

Celtic are rushing to complete the signing of 23-year-old Tunisia winger Tounekti after reports in Sweden claimed Hammarby had accepted a fresh offer worth up to £5.5million.

However, winger Yang Hyun-jun’s proposed move to Birmingham has apparently fallen through.

Rangers are closing in on the double signing of Everton striker Youssef Chermiti and Marseille’s Canada international centre-back Derek Cornelius. Chermiti, a 21-year-old who has not scored in his 24 appearances for Everton, is set to cost about £8million.

Rangers head coach Russell Martin revealed on Sunday that last season’s top goalscorer Cyriel Dessers had “probably” played his last game for the club ahead of an anticipated move to Panathinaikos.

Speculation over the future of midfielder Nicolas Raskin continues after he sat out the visit of Celtic on Sunday, although the signs are the Belgium midfielder will be staying.

Martin could be looking to offload out-of-favour players such as Clinton Nsiala and Oscar Cortes.

Shayden Morris was the first move on the final day of the transfer window in the William Hill Scottish Premiership as Aberdeen’s Hampden hero departed for Luton.

The wide man, whose cross led to Kasper Schmeichel’s own goal in the Scottish Cup final win over Celtic, joined the League One side for an undisclosed fee.

Reports claim Ester Sokler could also be on his way out of Pittodrie, while Fletcher Boyd has been strongly linked with Aston Villa and Aberdeen have been linked with a move to take Kevin Nisbet back from Millwall.

Dons manager Jimmy Thelin said: “We are still looking to add players to the squad, and the hard work continues to ensure any new arrivals secured by the close of the transfer window today will positively impact the club.”

Livingston were the most efficient Premiership club on deadline day, announcing two Premier League loan signings before any of their rivals got deals over the line.

David Martindale has brought in 21-year-old West Ham right-back Junior Robinson and 20-year-old Manchester City midfielder Mahamadou Susoho for the season. Miles Welch-Hayes, who made just three appearances in two years with the Lions, has left the club by mutual consent.

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou was working on “squeezing one in” and has been linked with a loan move for Celtic defender Stephen Welsh, while Falkirk manager John McGlynn is hopeful of signing two more players.

Hibernian are hoping to complete the loan signing of Scotland forward Lyndon Dykes from Birmingham, while Elie Youan is close to joining Legia Warsaw.

Hearts completed the signing of 33-year-old German goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow on Sunday and most of the business on deadline day at Tynecastle is expected to be in the opposite direction, with Kenneth Vargas and Musa Drammeh among those who could move on.

St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson remains eager to add a pacy striker but said on Sunday evening that “we need to get somebody out before we bring somebody in”.

Dundee manager Steven Pressley reported “nothing imminent” on Sunday, but added they were “assessing the market”.

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin is happy with his 14 summer signings and Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell did not envisage any more incomings after signing former Ross County right-back James Brown on Saturday.
