Benedito Mambuene Mukendi to Aberdeen transfer stonewalled by Jim Goodwin as boss warns against Pittodrie standstill

Jim Goodwin refused to confirm interest in Angolan ‘Beni’ but has insisted it is important Aberdeen don’t stand still in the January window. The Dons, who are looking to bounce back against Rangers on Tuesday, after their weekend defeat to Celtic, are in third spot and are trying to seal a return to European competition.

Reports last week claimed Aberdeen had made contact with the agent of Benedito Mambuene Mukendi. The 20-year-old, who is known as Beni, is an attacking midfielder for Portuguese second tier side Trofense.

Goodwin, when asked about Beni, replied: “We are looking at loads of players, lots of good ones. We are going into the window and will be linked with numerous ones between now and then. Time will tell who we will end up with. But we are always trying to strengthen the squad going into every window. It’s important that we don’t stand still. And that’s what we will try to do.”
