Rangers make Oliver Antman transfer breakthrough with deal timeline emerging
Talks over a move for the Finnish international have been progressing and now a deal could be in sight for Russell Martin Oliver Antman is set to sign for Rangers after the Ibrox club agreed a fee with Go Ahead Eagles. Record Sport understands that an agreement has been reached with the Eredivise outfit for the Finnish wide man, with sources in the Netherlands suggesting that the 23-year-old could become Russell Martin 's latest signing within the next 24 to 48 hours. Talks have taken place over a switch to Ibrox and a breakthrough has been made with the Deventer-based outfit. A fee of around £5million has been reported, and now it's understood that progress has been made with both club and player, easing the way for a move to Govan to happen. Antman won't be eligible for Wednesday night's Champions League second leg showdown with Panathinaikos in Athens even if he signs in time. But he could well be in the squad Martin takes to Fir Park on Saturday as Gers begin their Scottish Premiership campaign with an evening kick-off away to Motherwell. Antman bagged 7 goals and an impressive 17 assists to help fire Go Ahead to Dutch Cup glory last term. Sheffield United had been strongly linked with Antman, along with Belgian outfit and recent Ibrox visitors Club Brugge. But it now looks as if Gers have won the race. Go Ahead Eagles director Jan Willem van Dop insisted Antman, along with Celtic-linked teammate Jakob Breum, wouldn't leave on the cheap. He told Oost: "We think Breum and Antman should be allowed to leave for more than six million," which would seem to be the threshold Rangers have met to get a deal over the line. Former PSV, Barcelona and Dutch international star Ibrahim Affelay predicted that Antman would bank Go Ahead good money. he said: "That Antman is really... I think the treasurer is rubbing his hands with glee. He's going to make a fantastic transfer at the end of the season."

Jess Carter melts England fans' hearts and admits she was ‘scared to play' in Euro 2025 final after personal struggles
JESS CARTER admitted she was 'super scared' of playing in England's Euros final triumph. Before the semi-final win over Italy, the Lionesses defender revealed she'd received racist abuse from online trolls during the tournament. 5 5 5 Carter, 27, was put back in the starting line-up for last night's penalty shootout triumph over Spain - after being put on the bench against the Italians. And the Gotham FC star says she was a bag of nerves going into the final after a recall from boss Sarina Wiegman. Carter said: 'I was super scared of playing the final for the first time in my life. 'When I woke up in the morning and saw my team and saw the support I had - and the belief I had from my team-mates, manager and family - I had I could come out and give my all. That's all you can do. 'It's incredible, the fans have been incredible all tournament and we couldn't have done this without them. 'We're so grateful for them and this moment. Giving up is not in our DNA. We have stuck together from minute one. I couldn't be prouder of this team and I'm so honoured to be proud of it. 'I'm more disappointed in myself previous performances than anyone else.' England team-mates, staff and fans rallied around Carter after she revealed vile abuse she had been subjected to. 5 Before the extra-time win against Italy on Tuesday, England's subs stood arm-in-arm with Carter after the players opted against taking the knee before kick-off. But Carter kept her cool to emerge as a European champion. Fans go wild as England beat Spain on penalties to win Women's Euro 2025 final Asked how she's going to celebrate, she said: 'Getting very drunk!' In an Instagram post, the 27-year-old player said: "From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse. "Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race." She said she was stepping back to "protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team any way I can". "Hopefully speaking out will make the people writing this abuse think twice so that others won't have to deal with it," she added. 5 The Lionesses posted a message from the squad with the caption: "We stand with Jess, and all #Lionesses players past and present who have suffered racism." It reads: "No one should have to endure such vile abuse, be that in football or any walk of life. "Representing our country is the greatest honour. It's not right that while we are doing that some of us are treated differently simply because of the colour of our skin."
