  "account": "Kevin Kelsy, a Venezuelan striker, is set to join Rangers in a deal that will see the Scottish champions pay $13 million (£9.6 million) to Portland Timbers for the 22-year-old player. This fee includes add-ons, and a sell-on percentage has also been agreed upon. Celtic's efforts to secure midfielder Gvidas Gineitis from Torino and left-back Greg Taylor from Greek side PAOK were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Celtic may be eyeing former Southampton midfielder Will Smallbone as he becomes a free agent. For Burnley, midfielder Reo Hatate is set to join Celtic for £6.5 million plus add-ons after finalizing his transfer. Dundee has rejected interest from several clubs, including Aberdeen, in midfielder Ethan Hamilton. Former Ibrox striker Kris Boyd expresses his confusion over Rangers' inability to capitalize on key assets, such as Belgium midfielder Nico Raskin. In other transfer news, Chelsea is reportedly in contact with Liverpool full-back Georg Wijnaldum.",
