Aberdeen are keen on signing Middlesbrough defender Hayden Coulson on-loan. The 24-year-old is next on boss Jim Goodwin 's transfer list following the capture of Callum Roberts on Monday.
As revealed by Record Sport , the winger is the latest arrival at Pittodrie after the Dons agreed an undisclosed fee with National League club Notts County. But Goodwin isn't stopping there with a Premiership opener away at champions Celtic looming on Sunday. He's in the market for a left-back and Coulson has been identified as an option.
He's already had a previous spell in Scotland with St Mirren before moving on to Cambridge United, Ipswich Town and Peterborough in a series of loans. Now in the final year of his contract at the Riverside Stadium, the former England youth international looks set to leave Boro on-loan again. The move would give Goodwin more competition in the left-back area, where youngster Mason Hancock has impressed with Jack MacKenzie out injured.
