Celtic are reportedly said to be showing interest in a potential move for Oskar Fallenius…
The winger currently represents Djurgarden in Sweden’s top division – and according to reports Celtic and even theRangers are eyeing the winger ahead of the summer transfer window opening next month.
Fallenius found the net once across seven outings as his team advanced to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals this season, where they were ultimately eliminated by English Premier League side Chelsea.
According to fotbolldirekt.se, both of Glasgow’s big two have identified Fallenius as a target and have recently dispatched scouts to evaluate his performances.
So far neither club has submitted an official offer. The 23 year-old has netted seven goals and provided nine assists across 78 competitive matches for Djurgarden, with his contract running until 2026.
The reported pursuit has emerged shortly following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season in Scotland. Celtic secured the Premiership title for a fourth consecutive season but missed out on a Treble after falling to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final last Saturday at Hampden.
After parting ways with Philippe Clement in February, theRangers ended the season without silverware once again and are continuing their search for a permanent manager, with Davide Ancelotti and Russell Martin among the candidates rumoured for the Ibrox position.
Meanwhile, the news of Celtic’s interest in Fallenius also comes after a report last night outlined the Scottish champions are reportedly eyeing a potential move for his teammate and Djurgardens left-back Keita Kosugi.
The Hoops are among several clubs showing interest in the Japanese left-back, who joined the Swedish side a year ago.
Similarly to Fallenus, the 19-year-old stood out with his displays during Djurgarden’s Allsvenskan campaign as well as their impressive showing in the UEFA Conference League.
A winger and a left-back are positions of priority for Brendan Rodgers and it will be interesting to see if when the transfer window opens next month Celtic will attempt to snap up the Djugarden’s duo.

From Italy: United making ‘dangerous moves’ and ‘threatening’ Serie A giants’ pursuit of ‘complete’ striker
Manchester United are said to be scuppering Juventus’ pursuit of primary forward target Randal Kolo Muani. Previously, the Serie A giants believed they had a free run at making the striker’s move permanent this summer in the aftermath of his stellar half-season loan spell. That was until United entered the mix for Muani amidst their ongoing search for a prolific No.9 to add to Ruben Amorim’s ranks. Kolo Muani’s future: The state of play Numerous outlets in recent weeks have credited the Red Devils with interest in Muani, to the point that Juventus have now acknowledged United’s ‘threat’ and are working tirelessly to try and reach an agreement as swiftly as possible. Gazzetta claims United are making ‘dangerous moves’ in pursuit of the 26-year-old, who departed Paris Saint-Germain in January in hopes of reviving his stagnant career with the Turin outfit – and that he did. Muani went from making just two starts and scoring two goals in all competitions for PSG in 2024/2025 to making 19 starts and notching 10 goals; two of which came in the Club World Cup. His revitalised showings prompted United to revive their interest in the French international, whom compatriot Kylian Mbappe once hailed as a ‘complete’ player. Reds prepare to reignite Muani pursuit United were first linked with Muani back in 2023 when he had established himself as one of Europe’s hottest prospects after becoming Eintracht Frankfurt’s talisman. However, the club ultimately opted against submitting a bid, instead going all-out for Rasmus Hojlund and agreeing a £72 million package to sign him from Atalanta. Meanwhile, PSG forked out £62.5m to sign the frontman from Eintracht while pledging a further £12.2m in add-ons. Luis Enrique’s scintillating attacking contingent has meant there’s little to no room for Muani to stake his claim for a starting spot, prompting PSG to part ways prematurely by making him available for sale this summer.

Stephanie White Puts Indiana Fever Players on Notice Despite Win Against Aces
The Indiana Fever’s starters turned in a strong all-around effort in Thursday’s 80-70 win over the Las Vegas Aces. The starting unit scored at least 13 points each, save for Aari McDonald, who registered nine points in 22 minutes of action. Indiana’s starters combined for 76 out of the team’s 80 points on the evening, which only means that the four other players who came off the bench accounted for just four points in the game. All that came from Sydney Colson, who went 2-of-5 in 18 minutes of playing time. Lexie Hull, Makayla Timpson and Damiris Dantas all failed to score in the win. Stephanie White Calls Out Fever's Bench Be that as it may, offense wasn’t even the biggest concern for head coach Stephanie White. In her postgame press conference, the veteran shot-caller called out Indiana’s bench for their lack of intensity on the defensive end, particularly in the first half. “Our bench has to be ready,” she said. “I felt like our bench in the second half was really good defensively. In the first half, I didn't feel that way. You got to be ready to come in and you got to be ready to guard your matchup and execute the game plan. "We have depth for a reason. We've got quality depth and we've got to be able to use it. So if fatigue is a factor in execution, then they just need to ask for a sub and I'll get them out and get them back in." It has been a bit of a busy stretch for the Fever at the midway point of the season. Thursday’s matchup against the Aces was their second game in three nights, and they will be back in action again on Sunday in a rivalry showdown against the Chicago Sky. White, however, isn’t accepting fatigue as an excuse. This is regardless of the fact that Caitlin Clark remains out with a re-aggravated groin injury. White is adamant that this roster has been built for adversity, and she didn’t hesitate to put her bench on notice after Thursday’s showing.
Rangers Sign Former Stanley Cup Champion to Tryout Agreement
The New York Rangers are adding to their forward depth ahead of their upcoming training camp. The Rangers are entering a new chapter of their organization under new head coach Mike Sullivan. After missing the postseason last year, the organization is trying to rebound and respond accordingly in 2025 and 2026. Former Stanley Cup champion forward Conor Sheary is the latest player to join the new-look Rangers. The veteran forward agreed to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the club and will look to earn an NHL deal with his performance in training camp and the preseason. Sheary is a veteran of 593 NHL games. Originally an undrafted free agent, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins after completing his collegiate career. Following a year with the Penguins' AHL affiliate, he forced his way onto the NHL squad after posting 36 points in his first 30 games of the 2015-2016 season at the AHL level. His debut NHL season went better than ever expected, and he was a key part of the Penguins' lineup that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Sheary's coach at the time, both at the AHL and NHL levels, was Mike Sullivan. Now, he'll get the chance to reunite with the coach under whom he won two championships. In addition to playing for the Penguins, Sheary has played for three other NHL franchises. The Pens dealt him to the Buffalo Sabres before the 2018-2019 campaign, but he would return to Pittsburgh the following season at the trade deadline. After his second stint with the Penguins, he joined the Washington Capitals. He played three seasons in Washington, D.C. before landing with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he spent the past two years. Over his 593 career games, he's compiled 124 goals and 143 assists for 267 points. His best NHL season came during the 2016-2017 campaign, his second in the league. He scored 23 goals and added 30 assists for 53 points in 61 regular-season games.
Can LeBron James Be Traded to the Dallas Mavericks?
This year’s NBA offseason could see a lightning strike in the near future. The Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus has suggested a new, three-team trade between the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets that would send LeBron James, alongside his son Bronny James, to Dallas in a dramatic, yet significant deal to reshape all three teams’ futures. Here’s why. LeBron James to the Dallas Mavericks LeBron James opted into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 NBA season. However, James’ decision was met with skepticism by several NBA executives. Some NBA insiders expected James, 40, to opt out and sign a one-plus-one deal. The decision drove chatter of possible discontent and a potential end to his Lakers run. James holds one of the NBA’s rare no-trade clauses. Therefore, James can decide where he would land. Multiple NBA insiders have said that the Dallas Mavericks are high on James’ list. Joining the Mavericks would allow James to reunite with Kyrie Irving, join forces with Anthony Davis again, and play under Jason Kidd, who served as an assistant coach during the Lakers’ 2020 NBA championship run. James, Mavericks Outlook LeBron James is 40 years old and will turn 41 on December 30, 2025. However, James is still playing like a top-tier NBA player. If the Dallas Mavericks acquire James, the Mavericks could receive star power, shot creation, and veteran leadership. A Mavericks goal appears to be winning while the team’s NBA championship window is still open. The Mavericks would receive LeBron James (via Lakers), Bronny James (via Lakers), Drew Timme (via Nets), Tyrese Martin (via Nets), a $1.8 million trade exception, and a $1.1 million trade exception. The Mavericks could benefit from a solid core of James, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flagg and Dereck Lively II. The Lakers would receive Daniel Gafford (via Mavericks), PJ Washington (via Mavericks), Naji Marshall (via Mavericks), Caleb Martin (via Mavericks), Jaden Hardy (via Mavericks), a 2030 Los Angeles Lakers second-round pick (via Nets), a 2031 Los Angeles Lakers second-round pick (via Nets) and a $24.1 million trade exception. The Lakers could start the Luka Doncic era. The Brooklyn Nets would receive Dalton Knecht (via Lakers), Maxi Kleber (via Lakers), Olivier-Maxence Prosper (via Mavericks) and Dwight Powell (via Mavericks). The Nets would serve as a facilitator, as the team would acquire assets while helping two contenders shift money around, and perhaps cash considerations. Final Thoughts It’s highly unlikely that LeBron James will be traded to the Dallas Mavericks. However, nothing can be ruled out. The NBA world saw the Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers this past February, and if they’re old enough to remember, the Jason Kidd trade to the Phoenix Suns in December 1996. If and when James is traded to Dallas, James’ presence can help the Mavericks succeed. James can help improve team chemistry, instill confidence in the team, and build a winning culture. James can play multiple positions as a forward, but a huge concern would be James’ declining gameplay and shooting stats.
