Aberdeen sign German youth international left-back from FC Schalke 04 on four-year deal
Aberdeen have signed German youth international left-back Emmanuel Gyamfi on a four-year deal from FC Schalke 04. The 20-year-old has been secured for an undisclosed fee subject to international clearance and VISA formalities. Gyamfi emerged through the youth academy at Bundesliga 2 side Schalke where he is regarded as one of their hottest prospects. The left-back gained valuable senior experience during a loan spell with VVV-Venlo in the Eerste Divisie during the 2024-2025 season. Gyamfi says he is inspired by Aberdeen's 20,000 fans during the Scottish Cup final triumph at Hampden. And he aims to help bring more silverware success to the Dons under boss Jimmy Thelin. He said: ' I'm really happy to be here and so are my family, so I am ready to go. 'Now that everything is sorted, I can focus on pre-season, and I am going to work hard before training starts. 'I will give my best to help the team. 'I want to show the fans what I can do as this is a good club, and we all want to achieve even more than last season. 'It was nice to see all the fan celebrations after winning the cup. 'It motivates me to want to do it again as you can see how much they love Aberdeen. 'Obviously it's a dream to play in Europe, on that stage. 'It can be challenging but we are going to be ready as a team after a strong pre-season.' An attacking-left back Gyamfi will bring pace, technical ability and goals to Aberdeen. Dons boss Thelin needed to bolster the left-back position following the exit of Jack MacKenzie at the end of the season. Thelin said: 'Emmanuel is a player we have been monitoring for some time. 'He possess all the attributes we are looking for in a modern full-back. 'He's dynamic and has a great work ethic. 'His development at Schalke and his recent loan spell demonstrates his potential and we believe this will be the environment in which he can thrive.'

Emmanuel Gyamfi sold on Aberdeen transfer by Scottish Cup party as Hampden scenes sealed the deal
The Dons have agreed a deal with Schalke 04 for the young left-sided player who has penned a four-year agreement New signing Emmanuel Gyamfi has admitted seeing the Scottish Cup celebrations has motivated him to bring more glory to Aberdeen. The Dons have agreed a deal to sign the young left-sided player from Schalke 04 on a four-year deal. The 20-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Dutch club VVV Venlo, comes in to fight for the left-back slot with Graeme Shinnie, after Jack MacKenzie quit for Plymouth. Gyamfi has seen his new club wallow in the glow of their first cup success in over a decade and hopes he can also bring glory in the coming seasons. Gyamfi said: 'It was nice to see all the fan celebrations after winning the cup. It motivates me to want to do it again as you can see how much they love Aberdeen. 'It motivates me to do it again. I will give my best to help the team. 'I want to show the fans what I can do as this is a good club, and we all want to achieve even more than last season.' Another added pull for the German was European football. Aberdeen go straight into the final Europa League qualifier but regardless of what happens are guaranteed group football until the end of the year. He said: 'Obviously, it's a dream to play in Europe, on that stage. 'There is the chance for the Europa League and then definitely the Conference League. 'It can be challenging but we are going to be ready as a team after a strong pre-season. We have nothing to worry about.' The left-sided player will give Thelin's side options. He can play on the wing or in defence and although he is left-sided he can also play on the right. Gyamfi is ready for the physical challenge of the Scottish game. He stated: 'Scottish football will be intense, so I have to be ready both physically and mentally for this. 'I am comfortable to play on the left or right, I can play as a winger or a full-back on both sides. I am strong, fast and can dribble. I hope it will help being able to play in some positions. 'I just want to get a good pre-season, get fit and get going when we start back. I signed for four years and am confident about my time here, I want to achieve things here. 'I heard about the interest about five months ago, my agent told me about the offer but I wanted to focus on the season. 'I didn't play a lot to start with but then started playing a lot, and now I'm here. I'm really happy to be here and so are my family, so I am ready to go.' The new arrival believes his time in Holland will help him hit the ground running in the Granite City. Gyamfi, speaking to RedTV, said: 'It was hard in the beginning (at Venlo) but I fought my way through it. Last season I played around 30 games, after the winter break I played a lot and it felt good. 'My confidence had been down in the beginning because I didn't play a lot, but getting into the team at the end gave me a lot of confidence.' He has previously been at Fortuna Dusseldorf before he moved to Schalke. Thelin admitted Gyamfi is exactly what he wants in an Aberdeen full-back. Thelin said: 'Emmanuel is a player we have been monitoring for some time. He possesses all the attributes we are looking for in a modern full-back. He's dynamic and has a great work ethic. 'His development at Schalke and his recent loan spell demonstrates his potential and we believe this will be the environment in which he can thrive.'

The season may be over but a busy summer of transfer activity is only just beginning as clubs look to reshape their squads ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Here is a round-up of the latest rumours swirling around Scottish football this Friday lunchtime ahead of the transfer window reopening on Monday, June 16... Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Celtic reject bid as €25m bar set Celtic have reportedly turned down a lowball offer from Fenerbahce for star forward Daizen Maeda. The Japanese international is attracting interest after a steller season where he netted 33 goals in 52 games for the Scottish champions, playing both on the wing and as the central striker following the January departure of Kyogo Furuhashi. Multiple reports in Turkey have claimed that Fenerbahce have identified the 27-year-old as the man they want to replace Allan Saint-Maximin, who will return to Saudi club Al Ahli following his loan move. It is claimed that Jose Mourinho's side have submitted an opening bid of €10m (£8.4m) which has been rejected out of hand by Celtic, who have set the bar at the €25m (£21m) for the PFA and Scottish Football Writers Player of the Year. It is also claimed that Tottenham are showing an interest in Maeda, although any offer is likely to depend on whether Ange Postecoglou remains in charge at the Premier League club. The ex-Celtic boss, who brought Maeda to Parkhead for just over £1m in 2022, is fighting to keep his job despite winning the Europa League last month. Celtic have reportedly rejected an approach from Fenerbahce for star forward Daizen Maeda.

Dons boss Jimmy Thelin added: 'Emmanuel is a player we have been monitoring for some time. He possesses all the attributes we are looking for in a modern full-back. He's dynamic and has a great work ethic. His development at Schalke and his recent loan spell demonstrates his potential and we believe this will be the environment in which he can thrive.' Robin Propper is on his way out of Rangers after less than a year at the club. | SNS Rangers exit agreed Rangers are set to cut their losses by sanctioning the sale of defender Robin Propper after less than a year with the club. The Ibrox club paid £2.5million to sign the 31-year-old from Dutch side FC Twente last summer but after an unconvincing debut season in Scotland he is set to return to his former side in a cut price deal. According to reports in the Netherlands, Rangers will only recoup half of the money spent on Propper with terms agreed on a £1.2m transfer. The centre-back remains highly regarded at FC Twente having previously captained the side prior to his move to Rangers. The departure of Propper and fellow defender Leon Balogun has freed up space for new head coach Russell Martin to bring in his own centre-halves as he looks to put his own stamp on the side ahead of the new season.

The nine-time Scotland international was released by the Tannadice club at the end of the season following two years with the Tangerines. He played a major role in the club's Championship title win before helping them secure European football with a fourth-placed finish in the Premiership last term. Now Gallagher is back in the Championship aiming for the fourth promotion of his career after signing a one-year deal with relegated Ross County.
