Cammy Devlin Chooses Between Hearts and Overseas Offers

Cammy Devlin, the 28-year-old out‑of‑contract Australia midfielder, is emotionally torn between a new Heart of Midlothian contract and offers from abroad. Robbie Keane has been told he could still become Celtic manager one day. Both stories dominate the latest Scottish transfer chatter. Hearts are prepared to improve terms to retain Devlin, while clubs from Major League Soccer, the Turkish Super Lig and the English Championship have each lodged big‑money offers. The Scottish capital side hopes the improved deal will persuade the midfielder to stay. Porto, PSV Eindhoven and Galatasaray are among the clubs interested in 22‑year‑old Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti. Meanwhile, 19‑year‑old midfielder Bailey Rice is training at the NXT Level Lab coaching centre in Marbella, Spain, to build fitness ahead of a Rangers pre‑season, with Ajax and Aston Villa also linked to the youngster. Joe Gelhardt will hold talks with Leeds United after returning from his loan at Hull City. Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles is focusing on representing Northern Ireland and enjoying a summer break, despite reported Rangers interest. Celtic are set to pay £4.4 million for Go Ahead Eagles midfielder Jakob Breum, and Portuguese and Scottish clubs have already made proposals for 18‑year‑old Guinea‑Bissau winger Ilief Mendes of Chaves Under‑19s. Robbie Keane was fully aware that Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill holds a first‑refusal on the permanent job, a point discussed with major shareholder Dermot Desmond. Russell Martin may raid Rangers for sports science chief Rhys Owen should the former Ibrox head coach be appointed Leicester City manager. Richard Hughes is in advanced talks to become Al Hilal's sporting director, with the Saudi club allowing him to work on Liverpool's summer transfer window before the switch. Rudy Galetti, Alan Nixon and Sacha Tavolieri all feature in the transfer chatter.
