Aberdeen have signed German goalkeeper Daniel Klein on a two-year contract. The 25-year-old was a free agent after leaving Bundesliga side Augsburg this summer and will provide cover and competition for current number one Marius Muller and fellow goalkeeper Nick Suman. Klein didn't make a single appearance for Augsburg last term and last featured, for their B team, in a competitive game in May 2025.
Jota's return from long-term injury will come too late for the winger to play in upcoming Europa League games after the Portuguese was left out of Celtic's squad along with three of their summer signings. Joel van den Berg, the 19-year-old bought from PSV Eindhoven, and two on-loan Chelsea midfielders - forward Shim Mheuka and midfielder Landon Emenalo - also miss out after their arrivals this week. The 27-year-old Jota suffered a cruciate ligament injury in April 2025 but returned to training last month, with assistant manager Shaun Maloney stressing "he's still a matter of weeks" away from a return.
Throughout the Premier League era there have been hordes of transfer hits and misses, but today we're looking at those signings who proved game-changing for their club and the competition, the ones who really moved the needle. After all, he did score 32 Premier League goals in his first season at Liverpool after arriving from Roma in 2017. Instead, it was the £75m signing of Virgil van Dijk in January 2018 - and arguably goalkeeper Alisson Becker that summer too - that really raised the bar for Jurgen Klopp's side, who lost only once the following season and conceded just 22 goals as they racked up 97 points.
It was a deadline day that was as intriguing as it was infuriating at Everton but why did Folarin Balogun walk away from a deal at the final moment? The Toffees had expected the forward to arrive on a plane due to leave Nice at 07:00 BST but there were eyebrows raised when he didn't get that flight and he was late getting into Liverpool. It has been well reported that something was flagged up in the medical that would affect Balogun's long-term availability and I also understand the feeling among Everton's specialists is that this issue wouldn't have been a surprise to Monaco or the player himself.
