We're still three weeks away from the winter transfer window opening but already it looks like the wheels are in motion for some players when it comes to new deals.

Louis Moult, who was one of the stories of the summer, probably won't provide the saga this time around.

The Motherwell striker, who has been ruled out of action for a month with a hamstring injury, looks set to join Preston North End on a pre-contract.

It's no secret Celtic are in the market for a new defender come January and it looks as though RB Leipzig's Marvin Compper is top of Brendan Rodgers' list.

Meanwhile, Cruz Azul boss Pedro Caixinha has spoken about his new role saying it's a bigger challenge than managing Rangers.

He also says he is well received and already respected in Mexico, which played a big factor in his move back to the country.
