Scottish clubs must report to PSV

It will probably not have escaped anyone that earlier this week news came out that the transfers of defenders Armando Obispo and Adamo Nagalo did not go through. Both seemed to be on their way out of PSV, but at the very last moment, things changed.

Obispo is meanwhile connected to the PSV squad that is now on a training camp in Germany. In contrast to Obispo, Nagalo will not join the squad and a solution is being sought for the Burkinabè international.

With regard to Obispo, the French newspaper L'Équipe reported that the transfer of the defender to northern France has nevertheless not yet been ruled out. However, the perennial Scottish rivals Celtic and Rangers FC would do well to join PSV for the defenders.

The substitute editor Dylan ter Laak of the FootballTransfers outlet. ''Now the transfers of Armando Obispo and Adamo Nagalo have been agreed, it offers opportunities for other clubs. They can take advantage of the deadlock that has arisen and thus strike for the full-backs. Data from SciSports shows that it is the two Scottish top clubs Rangers FC and Celtic that should now be knocking on PSV in order to get a transfer over the line,'' Ter Laak writes on the FootballTransfers website.

According to the editor, Obispo would be an excellent option for Rangers FC, the club where former PSV coach Dick Advocaat experienced many successes. ''The Curaçao international, according to the data analytics firm’s figures, scores a Club Fit of 84 with the Scottish top club. Rangers’ playing style fits perfectly with Obispo, who also works well in Glasgow in terms of the setup and has a view of enough playing minutes'', said Ter Laak.

Nagalo would then be a suitable option again for Celtic, the green-and-white club from Glasgow. ''He even scores a Club Fit of 89 in SciSports' Career Advice Tool. In the case of Nagalo and Celtic as well, there is a perfect match in terms of playing style and even in terms of the formation. For the defender, it is also reassuring to know that there is a prospect of enough playing time—something that has been lacking for Nagalo in recent seasons,'' the editor writes about the surplus PSV defender.
