1 in and 1 out at Hearts

In addition to announcing the £320,000 arrival of midfielder Sander Kartum from Norwegian team SK Brann, Hearts also announced two trades on Friday.

At Tynecastle, Kartum signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. He told Hearts TV, “I heard it was a big club with a lot of history.”

It was a huge opportunity to play here because of the incredible crowd. I simply determined that I had to do this after searching for the chance to perform outside of Norway.

Each club I’ve visited has presented a fresh challenge, in my opinion. I have become a much better player and person. From beginning at Stjordals-Blink until arriving here, it has all been significant progress. I am prepared for it because I have experienced a lot.

“I enjoy being imaginative and scoring goals. The most essential thing, in my opinion, is to fight for the team. On the football side, our summer match against St. Mirren was an adventure.

Newcastle Stadium is a huge venue. I am eager to play my first game here because I have heard nothing but positive things about the atmosphere and the supporters.

In addition, the Jambos transferred Macaulay Tait to Livingston on loan for the remainder of the season. In an effort to reduce his team, manager Neil Critchley believes there may be one or two more departures before the deadline.

He said to reporters: “We’re still looking, and anything can happen in January.” Although some players left in January, it’s clear that our group currently has slightly more players than before.

Therefore, there may be one or two exits, but it also means that one or two may arrive, and the last week may be busy.

Nevertheless, we’re quite pleased with the players we’ve brought in and the work we’ve done thus far.

Motherwell add Luke Armstrong

Luke Armstrong is currently on loan to Motherwell from Carlisle United until the conclusion of the current season.

After acquiring Kai Andrews of Coventry City and Ellery Balcombe, a former goalkeeper for St. Mirren, the Steelmen added Armstrong as their third January addition.

On the official Motherwell website, the 28-year-old stated: “I’m very happy to be here. I was convinced by the management of his plan for the team and how I could work with the attackers already on the team.

Other offers were made, but I thought this one would best fit me and bring out my greatest playing abilities.

“I feel like I just couldn’t pass up the challenge of the Scottish Premiership, especially since I’m in the prime of my career.”

Jonathan Svedberg joins St Johnstone

Midfielder Jonathan Svedberg departed Halmstads BK, and St Johnstone has announced that he is available for a free move.

Svedberg said on the official St Johnstone website, “I am very excited to be here,” and he signed a contract that would expire in 2026. I feel like I’m in a good place now that I’ve met everyone and been welcomed.

The league is good, the level of intensity is higher, and I believe I’ll fit in. I believe I have a wealth of experience to contribute. I’ve been playing football at a high level for a while now.

“I am strong, engage in duels, and am physically fit.” However, I also enjoy being in charge of roles. Simo Valakari, the head coach, wants to be in charge of the games, and I enjoy

Hibs boss David Gray’s transfer optimism

Hibs can still sign their first player of the January transfer window, but manager David Gray is optimistic that transactions can be finalized before the cutoff.

“Ensuring that we are in a stronger position when the window closes than when it opened is the biggest challenge, and I’m very confident that’ll be the case,” he stated.

John McGlynn on Falkirk’s Callumn Morrison

Last but not least, Callumn Morrison’s unexpected transfer request has been handled by Falkirk manager John McGlynn.

“Knowing our board of directors, there is no chance of that!” McGlynn told the Falkirk Herald when asked if the Bairns would accept lowball offers for the winger. Why accept such a poor offer?

Something happening on the final day of the transfer window is something we don’t want to happen. We appear to be in this situation at this time each year, as was the case last year (with regard to Morrison).

Sincerely, I believe he will remain here (after January). That’s simply my viewpoint. I don’t believe anything will occur. Perhaps I’m being gullible and his agent will have a solution. But it would be hard to leave now.

“In my opinion, I could have avoided it given everything that was going on. Yes, it is; important games are approaching.

“You simply must accept it. Since you’ve been playing the game for so long, you just take things in stride, so I didn’t find it very significant.

We’ve been fantastic for him, and he’s been great for the club, so I’m sure the response will have been mixed.

The club was approached by Callum, who expressed his desire to be added to the transfer list. One of those situations is “you’re damned if you do” or “you’re damned if you don’t.”

We could have been uncomfortable about that, but we thought it was appropriate to honor his desires. Why is this important? A valuable member of our team, Callumn is someone we don’t want to lose.

However, we took everything into account; if you answer no, occasionally the situation can turn out badly. They may believe that they are not permitted to go.

“No one is more important than the football team. Callumn has been treated very well by the football team. Falkirk is what he plays. He can be chosen as long as he is putting in a lot of effort and acts with the proper attitude.

To be sure, I spoke with him this morning (Thursday), and I saw nothing suspicious. We’ll evaluate the situation as it develops.

“If he is chosen to take the field, I have no doubt that he will give it his all.
