Aberdeen FC transfer latest: Pape Habib Gueye linked with move to Turkey as 'agreement reached'
Turkish media's YS TV are reporting Kasimpasa, who finished 10th in the Super Lig last season, have struck a deal with the Dons for frontman and he will travel to Istanbul to complete his switch on Wednesday.
Gueye, who scored eight goals last season, came off the bench to play a key role in helping Dons beat Celtic to win the Scottish Cup final in May.
The former Senegal under-20 international joined Aberdeen from Belgian side KV Kortrijk on a three-year deal in 2023.
He struggled to make an impact in his first season in Scottish football, but a loan move to Norwegian side Kristiansund BK proved a success, with Gueye scoring six goals in 18 appearances.
The striker returned to play a leading role in the Dons' strong start to the last campaign before he suffered a quad muscle tear in training.

'It's been a massive change to my life, and it's been tough after being full-time my whole career. 'But a bit of structure gives me something to work towards and it's an experience I can use after football. 'If I decide I don't want to go down the coaching route then I've got something else there. 'I thought why not give it a go while I've got the opportunity and time to do it. So I've put a bit of effort into it. 'Hopefully in the future I'll be able to get back full-time, but I've always had a keen interest in property.' McAdams will be up against his old club and added: 'Ayr are a really well-run club just like Arbroath. 'You can see that with the chairman building a new stand there and improving the training ground.

'I met some great people and played with some players I'm still close with. I've got fond memories of the club. 'When I left there was a contract on the table, but I wasn't playing towards the end.

Celtic target sparks wild scenes with remarkable 119th minute winner to send club through in Europe
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC'S transfer interest in him emerged in the evening. Hours later, he was scoring the most dramatic of winners for his current club. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Celtic target Victor Eriksson scored an incredible European winner Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Eriksson is a popular figure among the Hammarby support Credit: Alamy It's already been a busy summer of transfers at Celtic but they aren't done yet. Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements with Manchester City kid Jahmai Simpson-Pusey set to be the next arrival at Parkhead. But the defensive signings might not end there. We told you earlier how the Hoops had been linked with a swoop for Swedish defender Victor Eriksson. SunSport columnist Alan Nixon has reported that Celtic's head of football operations Paul Tisdale has been to watch him in action for Hammarby. Towering centre-back Eriksson, 24, has excelled since returning to his homeland last year after a brief spell in the United States with Minnesota United. A product of hometown club Varnamo Sodra, he's also been capped once by Sweden. If he wasn't a name Celtic fans were familiar with before today, his remarkable European exploits on Thursday night might have made more take notice! Hammarby took on Belgian side Charleroi in a second round Conference League qualifier. The tie was deadlocked after a 0-0 first leg in Sweden. There wasn't much to separate the sides either in the second leg. Josef Erabi fired the Swedes into a first half lead before Charleroi hit back through Nikola Stulic inside the opening couple of minutes of the second 45. To extra time it went and it looked like there would be nothing to separate the sides. That was until Eriksson decided to have the final say in the 119th minute with penalties looming. A free-kick was floated into the box and with his back to goal, Eriksson watched the ball all the way, flicked it towards goal and found the net. There were absolutely WILD scenes of celebration as the Hammarby bench emptied as players, substitutes and coaches ran to join in some crazy celebrations by the corner flag. Unsurprisingly given the time, it proved to be the winning goal. Hammarby will now move on to face Norwegian outfit Rosenborg in the third qualifying round. Should Celtic wish to swoop for the 6ft 4in stopper, they might struggle to land him. That's if Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg has anything to do with it. Asked after the game if he'd sell Eriksson for £2million, he simply said "no." Asked how much the defender would cost, Hellberg emphatically responded: "He is not for sale."

Aberdeen duo head for exit Defender Richard Jensen has departed Aberdeen in search of regular football. The 29-year-old Finnish international, joined the Dons in August 2023 from Polish side Gornik Zabrze on a three-year deal. In total, he made 41 appearances for the Pittodrie club but spent the majority of last season on loan with Danish Superlige side Vejle Boldklub. 'We thank Richard for his contributions during his time at Aberdeen', said Dons boss Jimmy Thelin. 'He has been a model professional and a valuable member of the squad however, at this stage in his career Richard wants regular game time and unfortunately, we cannot promise him that at this moment.'

The Senegalese front man has arrived in Turkey for a medical having agreed a lucrative four-year deal. Conor Coady of Leicester City is still on Rangers list of transfer possibilities | Getty Images Big Rangers move still on Conor Coady could yet become a Rangers player this summer. That is according to a report which claims a deal for the Leicester City defender is still on the cards despite transfer talk cooling down in recent weeks. Russell Martin made the former England international one of his top targets following his appointment but so far a deal has not been agreed. The move looked in jeopardy when new Foxes head coach Marti Cifuentes included Coady in his squad for a pre-season camp in Austria with the 32-year-old featuring in friendlies against FC Koln and Zalaegerszegi. However, the Daily Record report that the move could still happen with Cifuentes now preparing to sanction the player's departure after initially insisting on pausing any outgoing transfer activity until he had assessed and spoken to his entire squad. Coady is claimed to still prefer a move to Govan although Wrexham have emerged as rival suitors. Celtic medical booked Celtic are set to beat a number of European clubs to the signing of Manchester City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. The 19-year-old centre-back is due to travel to Glasgow on Friday for a medical before putting pen to paper on a season-long loan deal. Simpson-Pusey stepped into the City defence last season due to injury problems, making six first-team appearances including two in the Champions League - and earned praise from head coach Pep Guardiola. The England youth international was also named EPL 2 Player of the Year after captaining the Man City reserves to the title. Celtic are also showing interest in Sweden defender Viktor Eriksson, according to a report. The Scottish Sun claim that the 24-year-old Hammarby centre-back, valued at around £2million, has been scouted by the Parkhead side.

Will the centre-half be a Hibs player soon? | SNS Group Hibs set to sign Scotland defender Hibs are closing in on the signing of Scotland defender Grant Hanley. The 33-year-old is a free agent after leaving Birmingham City earlier this summer and has held negotiations with Hibs, who are keen to reinforce their defensive options for the upcoming season. Capped 62 times by Scotland, Hanley would add experience to head coach David Gray's backline. He has been an integral part of Steve Clarke's Scotland set-up despite finding game-time limited in recent seasons at both Norwich City and Birmingham City. Born in Dumfries, Hanley has never played club football north of the border. He started his senior career at Blackburn Rovers in 2010 before moving to Newcastle United six years later. He switched to Norwich a year later and stayed until last January, becoming club captain and guiding the Canaries to promotion to the English Premier League. He was part of the Birmingham squad that won the League One title last term but made only three league starts. He was in attendance at Easter Road on Thursday night for the Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland. St Mirren signing arrives early Malik Dijksteel revealed Stephen Robinson told him what he wanted to hear as he made his move to St Mirren from Cork City ahead of schedule. The Dutch winger had recently signed a pre-contract agreement to join Saints in January following the expiry of his contract at the League of Ireland club. However, the Buddies moved to recruit Dijksteel to Paisley early on a contract until the summer of 2028 for an undisclosed fee. The 24-year-old, who came through the academy at Feyenoord and whose move is subject to international clearance, told 'I'm delighted. It's good that I can join now and have a full season here. It allows me to get to know the manager and get to know how he works. The manager said he wants me to be me and be the player that I am. He wants me to beat players, excite the fans and work hard. That's what you want to hear as a winger. I got to do my first session today. It's a good squad and everyone is very welcoming. The quality in the group is very good as well. I've watched some of the games on TV. You don't know until you're in it yourself, but it looks like a good level and I'm looking forward to it.'
