Aberdeen have been linked with a move for Palestine international Oday Dabbagh.
The 26-year-old plays for Belgian side Charleroi but the Dons are reportedly keen to land the attacker on a loan deal for the rest of the season.
Dabbagh, who has netted 16 goals in 42 games for Palestine, joined Charleroi from Portuguese side Arouca in 2023.
He has scored one goal in 15 appearances for Charleroi in the Jupiler Pro League this season, making four starts.
However Aberdeen are unlikely to complete a loan move for AC Milan striker Marko Lazetic before Monday’s 11pm deadline, according to a report.
The Dons have been heavily linked with the Serbia under-21 international, who is currently on loan at FK TSC Backa Topola in his homeland.
Lazetic was signed by AC Milan in a €4 million (£3.35m) deal from Red Star Belgrade in 2022.
The Dons are desperate to sign a striker before the transfer window closes on Monday evening and were hoping to agree a loan with an option to buy the Milan forward.
But, according to Sky Sports, a deal is “unlikely” to happen in this transfer window although the clubs are still exploring the possibility of Lazetic making the move to Pittodrie this summer.
Lazetic scored at both ends as Backa Topola were beaten 2-1 at home against Super Liga leaders Red Star Belgrade on Sunday afternoon.
He put the ball in his own net in the 29th minute but redeemed himself by scoring his side’s equaliser with nine minutes to go. It was his first goal in 23 appearances for Backa Topola this season.
That looked like it would be enough for a point only for Red Star to net the winner in the eighth minute of injury time.
MacDonald poised for move
Angus MacDonald could be set to leave Aberdeen on deadline day.
The 32-year-old was absent from the Dons squad for Saturday’s 2-0 loss against Hibernian.
The central defender is understood to be on the radar of a number of clubs south of the border.
A report in the Daily Record says English League One side Exeter City, managed by former Celtic and Scotland defender Gary Caldwell, are the favourites to sign MacDonald.
MacDonald, who is out of contract in the summer, joined the Dons from Swindon in 2023.
He has made 50 appearances during his time at Pittodrie but started only four league games this season.
Cove reject Motherwell bids for Suman
Cove Rangers have turned down two bids from Motherwell for goalkeeper Nick Suman, according to a report in the Daily Record.
The Australia under-23 cap has entered the final six months of his contract with the Aberdeen side.
Suman joined Cove in 2023 on a two-year deal after impressing on trial.
Meanwhile, former Cove Rangers left back Harry Milne has been linked with a move to Hearts.
The Jambos are hoping to finalise a deal for the Partick Thistle defender before the transfer window shuts on Monday, according to the Hearts Standard.
Elsewhere, former Peterhead and Cove Rangers attacker Leighton McIntosh has become the first Scottish player to join a club in Jordan.
The 31-year-old has joined Al-Ahli on a one-year deal.
