German football club, Bundesliga mainstay from Gelsenkirchen
Rabbi Matondo has joined Hibernian on a contract until the end of the season, with the club holding an option to extend. The Wales international, 26, had been on trial at Easter Road after leaving Norway’s Brann. He becomes the first signing of new Hibs manager Marink Reedijk, who takes charge ahead of a league trip to Dundee United.
Rangers are targeting Vanja Dragojevic from Partizan Belgrade for around £4m, with Tromso’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl also on the radar, as Derek McInnes builds a more rounded squad ahead of the new season. Aberdeen sign Marius Muller and Celtic eye new winger targets while Celtic, Hearts, and Dundee United plan their next moves.
Celtic are pursuing Mika Baur for a reported 4m fee as Daizen Maeda edges toward a move to Ipswich Town. Personal terms have been agreed with Baur, while Ipswich are negotiating for Maeda and other Celtic targets attract interest across Europe.
