Laxalt set to join Celtic from AC Milan - Rangers linked with Amiens midfielder Zungu

Celtic and Rangers are both reported to be closing in on transfers ahead of Monday night’s deadline. The Hoops have been linked with AC Milan left-back Diego Laxalt, while Rangers appear to have resurrected a move for Amiens midfielder Bongani Zungu.

Reports in Italy claim Uruguay international Laxalt is on the verge of a loan move from Milan, who are one of Celtic’s Europa League group stage opponents. Celtic boss Neil Lennon said on Sunday they were “working on one or two things”.

Rangers have been linked with Zungu all summer and reports in his native South Africa claim they are close to agreeing a fee with his French club. Ibrox chiefs are not expecting any major departures, meaning Lille target Alfredo Morelos will be staying put in Glasgow unless an 11th-hour bid materialises from France. Speaking on Friday, Gerrard said: “There certainly won’t be (multiple) additions. I think if we do well in the next couple of days there might be an addition.”
