Oliver Antman to Rangers transfer hampered by Celtic as Jakob Breum stance made clear by agent
The Glasgow giants are both looking to snap up wingers from the Eredivise outfit this summer Go Ahead Eagles' CEO Jan Willem van Dop had declared that the club will only sell one of Oliver Antman and Jakob Breum this summer. It comes with both Rangers showing interesting in Finnish international Antman - while Celtic have seen bids turned down for Dane Breum already this summer. A fee of around £5million has been reported for Antman after he netted seven goals and an impressive 17 assists to help fire his club to Dutch Cup glory last term. The Eagles are reported to be expecting an offer from the Scottish Premiership side for the 23-year-old. And when speaking to De Oosttribune, Van Dop insisted the club would not sell both of their key men. Asked about interest from the Glasgow giants in Breum and Antman, he responded: "Those are the guys who are in the spotlight. I think one of them will ultimately leave." The comments come after Breum's agent has told the Dutch club his client wants to join Celtic this summer. But the Scottish champions have been warned they must stump up the cash to sign the 21-year-old. The Hoops are in need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year. Van Dop insists the club won't sell on the cheap - having already knocked back a more substantial bid from FC Twente: "There was a question (from FC Twente), and that was about Jakob Breum. That's negotiable, but only if the price is right. "And we couldn't reach an agreement on that. What I did find positive was that his thoughts were certainly higher than the official offer Celtic ever made. "I've told Celtic that we won't be accepting their offer. I spoke to Breum's agent on the phone Monday morning, and he hopes he'll go that route. "We're certainly not the most difficult club, but it has to be a good fit. "And if we can't reach a financial agreement, we also have the right to say: well, it's not going to happen." Asked if the club had set an asking price in the region of £5.1million, he cryptically added: "We've set a ceiling."

Celtic have serious rivals for Jakob Breum after European club lodge higher bid than Hoops for key target
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC are facing a heavyweight rival for the services of Danish winger Jakob Breum in the form of Dutch outfit FC Twente. Dutch reports yesterday claimed that Go Ahead Eagles had knocked back a bid from the Hoops for the 21-year-old earlier this summer - with the Parkhead offer described as being "laughingly rejected".

But Go Ahead Eagles technical director Jan Willem van Dop told Oosttribune yesterday that FC Twente were also in the run for Breum - and they had made a higher offer than the only OFFICIAL one received from Celtic. Revealing that discussions between FC Twente and Go Ahead Eagles had originally centred upon defender Joris Kramer, Van Dop said: "I spoke to Jan once this summer, and he asked about Joris Kramer. "I made it clear that we didn't want to lose Joris. "I think that's a good thing; you can start a fight at that point, but after my explanation, Jan immediately said: 'Well, Jan-Willem, we respect that, and that's it.' "Then he had a second question, and that was Jakob Breum. "I'd say that was certainly negotiable if the price was right, but we couldn't reach an agreement. "His proposal was already higher than the official offer ever made by Celtic." 4 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

‘It was an eye-opener' – Robin Propper reveals what he learned at Rangers as he opens up on rollercoaster stint
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROBIN PROPPER insists his year-long stint at Rangers was an "eye-opener". The Dutch defender left Rangers this weekend to seal a move back to his old team FC Twente just 12 months after he swapped both clubs for the first time. 3 Robin Propper has left Rangers after one year Credit: Willie Vass 3 He's back at his old team FC Twente Credit: Getty Propper, 31, was shown the door by Russell Martin after a disappointing stint at Ibrox - despite scoring against Celtic in the 3-0 Old Firm derby win back in January. He made 43 appearances in all competitions for Gers last season but didn't do enough to prove his worth to new manager Martin. But despite struggling in his first spell abroad in his career, Propper says it was huge learning experience that will only help him for the remainder of his playing days. One thing he will certainly take back with him was his first experience of being a foreign player in another country. Asked what he learned from his stint in Scotland, Propper told FC Twente's YouTube channel: "It was an eye-opener for me. I wasn't aware of how foreign boys feel when they come to the Netherlands (before Rangers). I think they need attention and time. "You have to be constantly involved within the team. I have noticed that abroad it is different. "The team spirit here at Twente is so strong. That has been a huge strength at Twente. I realise now that it has to be kept in check. You have to invest in that. "You have to involve all the boys. That is one thing I want to take with me to the future." Propper's move back to the Netherlands was a transfer saga with plenty of twists and turns. At one stage it looked like the proposed switch to Twente would fall through after contract talks had stalled with his old club. Rangers new boy Robin Propper reveals how Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers told him to join Gers However, Propper has confirmed the reason for the transfer delay was down to the fact he was weighing up his future in Glasgow following the arrival of Martin and Rangers' new US owners. He continued: 'It was a long wait. I wanted to know how it would go with Rangers. A lot happened there and I wanted to see how it went. 'I did pre-season and I played matches there. I don't think I missed much in terms of fitness 'Of course I want to say that I had a great adventure at a beautiful club with a rich history. I always wanted that in my career. I think I want to look at a different mirror after a while. 3 'I can say that I have done that now. It felt really good to come back to the club where I really wanted to be - where I felt at home. The first two days I immediately felt the feeling. 'In a year you experience a lot. I have noticed that now. In a foreign country, certain things are different. I'm glad that I was able to experience that. 'I played a lot of games. I had a lot of beautiful moments. Also a little less. In a year like this you experience so many things. 'You have to experience that in your career. The way you deal with other people, you learn from that. I am very happy that I was able to do that."
