Dundee United are attempting to finalize a deal for Utrecht midfielder Zidane Iqbal before the 5pm transfer deadline in Scotland. The club's preference is a permanent transfer for the 23-year-old, who has one year remaining on his contract in Holland. Iqbal, a former Manchester United youth player, was also a target for Blackburn Rovers, but the English club was unable to finalize a deal before its transfer window closed. Manager Jim Goodwin has sought to sign a new No. 6 after a recent player sale. The midfielder has 28 caps and 2 goals for Iraq. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.00m. It is reported that FC Utrecht paid a €1.0M fee to Manchester United for his services in July 2023.
