Lisztes to leave Bremen

Hungarian international midfield player Krisztian Lisztes will leave SV Werder Bremen at the end of the season having turned down the Bundesliga club's final offer of a new contract.

Deadline set
Bremen's sporting director, Klaus Allofs, explained: "I made it quite clear to him that it was our final offer and that we would not improve it. He decided to turn the offer down and we must accept that, even though we are sad to see him go." The Bundesliga leaders are already geared to losing striker Ailton and defender Mladen Krstajic to FC Schalke 04 in the summer.

Dadason delight
Icelandic international Ríkhardur Dadason has agreed a two-year contract with Fram Reyjavík. The 31-year-old striker, who has scored 14 goals in 44 appearances with the national side, previously played for the club between 1989 and 1996, appearing in 101 matches and scoring 30 times.

Rising star
Belgian first division side KVC Westerlo have signed Joe Keenan from Chelsea FC. The 21-year-old midfield player has signed a contract until the end of this season, with an option for another year.

Free agent
Nigerian international Seyi Olajenbesi has joined SC Freiburg on a free transfer. The defender, who was ruled out of the African Cup of Nations by a hamstring injury, has agreed a deal until June 2007 with the Bundesliga side.

Scoring spree
Ukrainian Premier League side FC Karpaty Lviv have signed Moldovan international Aleksandr Golban on a three-year contract. The 24-year-old forward joins from FC Dacia Chisinau, having scored 15 goals in 37 matches in Divizia Nationala. Golban also has an impressive scoring record at international level, with four goals in eleven appearances.

Lovenkrands loss
Scottish champions Rangers FC will be without Peter Lovenkrands for a month after the Dane sustained an ankle injury at the weekend. The 24-year-old forward scored the late winner in Sunday's 1-0 win against Partick Thistle FC but was carried off soon afterwards following a tackle by Ian Ross. The club said he had suffered ligament damage and heavy bruising to the bone.

Administrators take over
Elsewhere in Scotland, administrators will be called into Livingston FC on Wednesday. "The appointed administrators will arrive on Wednesday," chairman Domenic Keane told the club's website. "I will also be resigning my position as chairman. It is my belief that vice-chairman John McGuiness will also resign from his position on the board. I hope, at some point in the future, that I will once again be able to gain control of Livingston."

Ince surgery
Finally, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC captain Paul Ince has undergone surgery on a minor foot injury. The midfield player had an operation to remove an ingrowing toenail on Monday, but is expected to be fit to resume playing on 21 February after completing a two-match suspension.
