Tom Rogic, who was linked with QPR and Fulham, has been signed by Celtic for a fee believed to be around £400,000.

The Rumour Mill

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United will finally place a £6m-plus-add-ons bid for highly-rated Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha in the next couple of days. Chelsea's Florent Malouda has had no interest from any club, according to the Sun. The French winger has been playing with the under-21 squad since the end of last season. The Mirror suggests that Tom Ince's move to Liverpool is in jeopardy - because Blackpool are refusing Brendan Rogers' calls. Swansea are also said to be interested in the winger. After Sandro was ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Andre Villas-Boas is looking to fast-track Lewis Holtby's move, says the Guardian. The midfielder already has an agreement with Spurs to join them at the end of the season, but AVB is willing to pay a transfer fee to get him early. Arsenal will miss out on Fernando Llorente, according to the Metro. The 27-year-old striker is close to agreeing terms with Juventus. However, the Gunners will be keeping Theo Walcott (Evening Standard), who will sign a deal over the weekend. Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (yes, I did copy and paste that) midfielder Derek Boateng. Fulham are believed to have already held a medical with the Ghanaian, says the Mirror. The Telegraph reports that Swansea have had a £3m rejected by Stoke for Kenwyne Jones. The Potters want £4.5m for the striker. The same report suggests that Fulham are front-runners to sign Roma 'keeper Maarten Stekelenburg, which would allow David Stockdale to move to Hull. Martin Jol wants to sign Belgian midfielder Junior Malanda and Danish defender Jores Okore, says the Times (warning: paywall). Fulham have already placed a £4.5m bid for the Belgian.
