Dundee star Luke McGowan will continue to be a key player despite transfer speculation according to manager Tony Docherty after turning down a bid for the 26-year-old winger. The Dens Park side entertain Hearts on Saturday.
And, at Gorgie, a deal which would see out-of-favour Japanese forward Kyosuke Tagawa leave Tynecastle is almost done.
The 25-year-old signed a three-year contract at Tynecastle but has failed to nail down a regular spot.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the Scottish Football Association will meet to hear representations from Hearts in their bid to secure the signing of 21-year-old Columbian defender Anders Salazar on a season long loan from Atletico Nacional.
Elsewhere, Aberdeen have signed former Manchester City midfielder Ante Palaversa from Troyes for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old, Croatian-born player, who has had loan spells in Belgium, Spain and Hajduk Split in recent seasons, joined the English club for £7m in 2019 but failed to break through into the top team.
