Aberdeen transfer state of play as David Bates emerges as Ipswich target and £500,000 winger eyed

Aberdeen have been one of the busier SPFL clubs this summer with boss Jim Goodwin overseeing an entire squad rebuild. From last season's disastrous campaign Declan Gallagher, Funso Ojo and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas have all been released while the club have the potential to land up to £11million through the club record sale of Calvin Ramsay to Liverpool and Lewis Ferguson's switch to Bologna.

Some of that money has already been spent with seven players coming in to date. Anthony Stewart, Bojan Miovski, Jayden Richardson, Liam Scales, Luis 'Duk' Lopes, Kelle Roos and Ylber Ramadani all make up Goodwin's new look side.

But now it's David Bates who could be the latest to head towards the Pittodrie exit door just a year after signing from Hamburg. Bates hasn't played a minute of the Dons three Premier Sports Cup games so far and has been linked with a move down to England. Ipswich, Derby County and Bristol City have all been touted as possible destinations.
