Rangers manager Derek McInnes is looking to sign another player who he managed at Hearts last season after Lawrence Shankland.
There’s no doubt Rangers need to invest significantly during the summer transfer window after falling short in the Scottish Premiership title race last season.
The Ibrox outfit looked in with a chance of battling for first place after the league split, but they fell off a cliff towards the end of the season.
If they don’t want to fall further behind their rivals Celtic and even Hearts, they need to bring in reinforcements in the coming weeks.
The Glasgow club have already secured the signature of Dan Neil, Shankland, Ivor Pandur, Ben Godfrey and Ross McCrorie so far.
It’s been a busy window for McInnes’ side, but it appears their business isn’t over yet.
Rangers Eyeing Hearts Star
According to a report from Sky Sports, Rangers are interested in signing Cammy Devlin following his departure from Hearts.
The 28-year-old left Hearts this summer after five years, failing to agree a new deal.
Devlin could follow in the footsteps of Shankland, leaving Hearts and joining their former manager McInnes at Ibrox.
The report claims that Rangers are also in talks over deals to sign Tromso’s Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Partizan Belgrade captain Vanja Dragojevic.
Tottenham are shifting their focus to strengthening their forward line after improving their defensive and midfield options in the summer transfer window.
It’s been an incredibly busy window for Spurs so far, bringing in a total of six new additions for Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
Martin Dubravka, Jan-Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali have all arrived through the door at Hotspur Way.
The North London club shouldn’t need too many more additions in defence or midfield, meaning they can now focus on their forward options for the rest of the window.
It is unclear what position in the attack they are likely to prioritise, but it seems they are in the market to sign a new winger.
Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia are willing to pay Sporting €50 million in order to sign the Portuguese international, but he still has other interests on the table.
It remains to be seen whether Trincao is keen on a move to Saudi Arabia, especially with interest from the Premier League.
Spurs certainly haven’t been afraid to smash clubs out of the park when it comes to transfers this summer, but whether they can beat the money of Saudi Arabia is another question.
Milan are reportedly seeking up to €70 million for Leao, so a deal for Trincao could be cheaper if Sporting are accepting €50m.
Trincao, who has been described as having shades of Lionel Messi, could be a better option for Tottenham, especially at that price, but given Spurs’ spending this summer, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were in the market for both players.
It’s been an incredibly busy window for them so far, but their business isn’t finished just yet.
After perhaps the most explosive game of the 2026 World Cup to date, the fallout from Argentina’s 3-2 win over Egypt continues to make headlines. The Argentinian FA (AFA) have now been forced to deny sending an email in which they admitted ‘corruption’.
Things were going so well for Egypt as they took the lead through Yasser Ibrahim before Lionel Messi missed his penalty. The first controversy then happened as VAR stepped in to rule out Mostafa Ziko’s goal, although he then scored to make it 2-0 shortly afterwards.
From here, though, Hossam Hassan’s side fell apart with goals from Cristian Romero, Messi and Enzo Fernandes allowing Argentina to complete the impressive comeback in the space of 14 minutes. Egypt were furious at full-time as they questioned numerous refereeing decisions, including the disallowed Ziko goal, while some feel Mohamed Salah should have been awarded a penalty in the build-up to the 93rd-minute winner.
In the aftermath, Egyptian hackers are now suspected of sending a wild email from Argentine FA accounts.

As reported by the Telegraph, the AFA have urged recipients to ignore messages sent in an email which “were not generated or authorised by our team.” The alleged scam messages from the federation’s media team account attack French referee Francois Letexier.
Letexier was immediately the subject of great scrutiny after the game, with Egypt manager Hassan furious at full-time. Speaking about Ziko’s ruled out, he angrily told the media: “They want Argentina and Messi to stay in the World Cup for marketing. If they wanted Argentina to win, why invite other teams to participate? This match was clearly rigged, and the whole world witnessed it.”
Egypt have also since filed a complaint, writing in a statement on social media: “Several key incidents raised serious concerns and left profound questions about the consistency and fairness of decisions that directly influenced the course of the game.”

An email sent from an account linked to the AFA’s media team reportedly told journalists that “Argentina did not win” and the team’s victory was the result of “corrupt refereeing decisions”. The email also praised the Egyptian team’s performance.
It’s said that a group of hackers of Egyptian origin had breached part of the AFA database, obtaining email addresses, passwords and IP addresses. Adding to this, Argentina have denied the authenticity of the email. In a statement, they said:
“We would like to inform you that we have detected the possible sending of emails from one of our institutional accounts that were not generated or authorised by our team.
“Given this situation, and while we carry out the corresponding verifications together with the systems area, we ask that you disregard any message you have recently received from our account that seems unusual, especially if it contains links, attachments or requests personal information. There is a possibility that our account has been subject to unauthorised access, so we are working to clarify what happened and take the necessary security measures.
“Our systems have the appropriate security and safeguards in place. The incident is being analysed to determine its origin and scope.”
An injury expert has predicted how long Kylian Mbappe could be sidelined after he was seen nursing his foot with ice following France’s 2-0 win over Morocco in the World Cup quarter-final on Thursday night.
The Real Madrid striker boosted his Ballon d’Or credentials by scoring his 20th World Cup goal in Boston, with Les Bleus now reaching their third consecutive semi-final in the tournament. Didier Deschamps’ side have looked every bit the favourites so far as they chase a second title in the last three tournaments, with the Supercomputer predicting them to do just that.
However, the sight of Mbappe hobbling off and needing an ice pack on his foot would have been an unwelcome one for France. Concerns quickly grew that he may have suffered a recurrence of a previous issue after asking to be substituted in the 77th minute.

After reviewing the footage of Mbappe’s injury, Physio Scout – an X account well-known for their assessments on player injuries – has provided a timeline for his recovery, depending on the extent of his condition. They wrote (see the full post below):
“The injury seemed to have happened after Issa Diop’s challenge, which caused Mbappe’s foot to evert after a stamp on his forefoot, which can bring concern for a medial ankle sprain.
“Wide variety of possibilities here, but Mbappe & Deschamps stating that it was ‘a small ankle problem,’ should ease concerns. Likely it’s only a minor issue here. Expected Recovery Times: If contusion/minor ankle sprain: Less than 1 week If medial ankle sprain: 2+ weeks.”
They added: “Unlikely that it’s any sprain, but scans might be necessary to determine the extent of the injury. Hopefully it’s just a minor one for France, as Mbappe did try and play on.”

Incredibly, only eight countries have scored more goals than Mbappe has by himself across the last three World Cup tournaments. His tally of 20 is just one behind the Netherlands and five shy of Spain. While he is a major reason why France head into every tournament believing they can go all the way, Deschamps also has plenty of other attacking options at his disposal.

Even without Mbappe’s goals, France would still rank as the joint fifth-highest-scoring nation across that period, with Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembele serving as their next most reliable source of goals. Michael Olise has also played a key role creatively, with his five assists the most of any player at this year’s tournament.
The depth of France’s attacking talent is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that Desire Doue and Bradley Barcola are battling for places in the starting XI, while Rayan Cherki – one of the Premier League’s standout performers last season – has been limited to just 61 minutes of action.
