Malik Dijksteel has made his move to St Mirren from Cork City ahead of schedule.
The Dutch winger had recently signed a pre-contract agreement to join Saints in January following the expiry of his contract at the League of Ireland club.
However, the Buddies moved to recruit Dijksteel to Paisley early on a contract until the summer of 2028 for an undisclosed fee.
"St. Mirren made a bid to get Malik over early, which Malik respectfully made clear was his preference, as it allowed him to be closer to his family," said Cork boss Ger Nash.
"We wish him the best of luck going forward."
Glenn McCourt has left Derry City to join Norwich City for an undisclosed fee.
McCourt has signed a three-year contract, with a club option, and will initially join as part of the development pathway, playing with the club's Under-21s.
"I'm buzzing to be here. I'm glad that the deal is done and everything is done and dusted and can't wait to get going now," the 17-year-old told the Norwich FC website.
Nottingham Forest have signed Switzerland winger Dan Ndoye from Bologna.
The 24-year-old, who scored nine goals in a total of 41 appearances for Bologna last season, including their winner in the Coppa Italia final, has agreed a five-year deal.
Ndoye arrives for a fee reported to be around £34 million (€39.3m).
Ndoye said: "I am really happy to have signed for the club. It is a really exciting time at Forest and I knew straight away that I wanted to be a part of the project.
"It's a really ambitious team with a fantastic history and I can't wait to get started."
Ndoye featured in all eight of Bologna's Champions League matches last season and has made 22 senior appearances for his country.
Tottenham have opened talks with Bayern Munich over the potential loan signing of Joao Palhinha, it is understood.
Palhinha joined Bayern from Fulham last summer in a deal worth up to £47.4million (€54.8m), but endured a difficult debut campaign in Germany.
The Portugal midfielder struggled with injury problems and only made six starts in the Bundesliga when fit under Bayern boss Vincent Kompany, which has opened the door for a temporary move back to London with Tottenham.
Spurs have plenty of options in midfield, but have multiple competitions to deal with in the 2025-26 season after their Europa League victory in May secured Champions League qualification and the addition of Palhinha would be a boost for new head coach Thomas Frank.
Palhinha, who turned 30 earlier this month, was linked with a transfer to Tottenham before he signed for Bayern.
The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder enjoyed a successful two years at Fulham, where he made 79 appearances and scored eight times to become a fan favourite at Craven Cottage.
Spurs secured the services of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham at the start of July, but failed in their pursuit of Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White and will now hope to land Palhinha on a season-long loan.
