Hide AdNisbet deal agreed
Millwall forward Kevin Nisbet has found a new temporary club, agreeing terms with Aberdeen to spend this season on loan. The Daily Record say the Dons now have a full agreement in place with Millwall with a medical set to take place this weekend.
The Scotland international forward scored five in 27 for Millwall last season after arriving from Hibs, penning a three-year deal. Nisbet does not appear to be part of Neil Harris’ plans and the 27-year-old will now return to Scotland, albeit temporarily for now.
Leeds ‘agree’ Spurs deal
Leeds United are said to have agreed a deal to land Tottenham wantaway Manor Solomon as they bid to improve their attack following the departures of Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville. According to HITC, Solomon has now agreed to join Leeds, dismissing offers from England and abroad in the process.
It was reported earlier this week that Solomon decided to move on from North London but that he had turned down an offer from Getafe in a bid to remain in England. The details of the deal have not been reported, but Solomon is said to have attracted interest from Ipswich Town, Leicester City, Sheffield United and Norwich City.

Hide AdChair interest
Sticking with Leeds, Football Insider report that the Whites are hoping to wrap up a late window deal for QPR star Ilia Chair. Leeds are said to want a new number 10 to replace Georginio Rutter, and Chair is said to have been identified as a possible option.
With Chair in the final year of his contract, the Hoops face a battle to keep hold of him, and Leeds are being tipped to ‘test QPR’s resolve’ as they naturally look to keep hold of the playmaker.
