Overview
- Elijah Just scored twice in New Zealand's 2-2 draw with Iran, becoming the first New Zealand man to score two goals in a World Cup match in what multiple outlets reported happened on Tuesday.
- His Los Angeles display drew immediate reported interest from Scotland's biggest clubs and at least one English side, with media naming Celtic, Rangers and Southampton among potential suitors.
- Those links remain unconfirmed and based largely on unnamed sources and pundit commentary rather than formal offers.
- Just's agent has publicly urged clubs to wait until after the World Cup before opening talks, and Football Insider reported Motherwell would seek about £3 million or more for the 26-year-old winger.
- The transfer chatter builds on a strong 2025–26 season in which Just had double-digit goal contributions and earned PFA recognition, a track record pundits say makes a summer move plausible and could push his value higher.
