David Bates set for Aberdeen transfer exit as Legia Warsaw 'close in' on six-figure deal

David Bates Aberdeen Legia Legia Warsaw Jim Goodwin Dons Anthony Stewart Hayden Coulson Liam Scales

Legia Warsaw are on the brink of signing out-of-favour Aberdeen defender David Bates for a fee over £400,000. That's according to reports in Poland, where it's claimed Bates is set for a medical today.

Bates didn't play minute of the Dons four Premier Sports Cup games and had been linked with a move down to England. Ipswich, Derby County and Bristol City were all touted as possible destinations, with Bates seemingly surplus to requirements under Jim Goodwin just one year after signing from Hamburg.

The former Rangers and Raith Rovers defender has been pushed down the pecking order with new captain Anthony Stewart and Celtic loanee Liam Scales the first-choice pairing. Even teenager Jack Milne has picked up some minutes while vice captain Ross McCrorie and new signing Hayden Coulson can both cover in central defence.
