CLUBS PUT RAMSAY TOP OF WISHLIST

Aberdeen will have to offload players to land new signings in the January transfer window, boss Stephen Glass has confirmed.

Glass says the Reds’ incomings in this month’s window will be dictated by the amount of players exiting Pittodrie.

A host of English Premier League clubs and European outfits are in the race to sign right-back Calvin Ramsay.

Aberdeen are braced for bids for the 18-yearold during the window.

Glass is also resigned to losing Welsh international attacker Ryan Hedges either in this window or in the summer.

Aberdeen offered a bumper deal to the 26-year-old but he has yet to sign. Blackburn Rovers are set to launch a fresh move to land Hedges having had a bid of £400,000 rejected in the summer.

A number of fringe players at Aberdeen could also exit in the search for game time.

Glass is keen to land St Mirren’s Republic of Ireland midfielder Jamie McGrath.

The Dons want to complete a deal this month but would be open to securing the 25-year-old on a precontract.

Aberdeen have also been linked with St Johnstone keeper Zander Clark.

However, Glass insists there will have to be movement out of Pittodrie to make way for new signings.

He said: “A lot is going to be dependent on what’s going out, that dictates what can come in.

“I don’t think adding without people leaving is probably going to happen. We also know that we’ve got good value in a lot of the players here.

“That’s important, that the squad continues to have a big value in it in terms of the young players in it and the players who are desirable for other clubs.”

Aberdeen have already cut two players from the first team squad with the exit of Austin Samuels and Matty Longstaff to their parent clubs.
