Motherwell considering loan options for McAllister
Motherwell are considering loan options for Zander McAllister, who has interest from lower league clubs, despite the 18-year-old midfielder having been involved in first-team squads. The Daily Record reports that McAllister has attracted attention from Championship clubs down to League Two.
Jens Berthel Askou has turned down the opportunity to stay with Motherwell and take the club to the next level, instead opting to become the head coach of Toulouse.
Why it matters for Motherwell
The loss of Askou is a significant blow to Motherwell, who are already struggling to compete with the top teams in the Premiership. The club's recent form has been inconsistent, with a recent win over Hibernian followed by a loss to Hearts.
Motherwell will need to regroup and refocus if they are to challenge for a top-six spot in the Premiership. The club's management will be under pressure to make the right decisions to ensure the team's success.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 4th in Premiership, 54 pts, 14W-12D-7L from 33 games, recent form WLDLW.

Recent form (last 5): 2W-1D-2L (WWLLD, most recent first); on a 2-game winning run.
