Jay Idzes back on Aberdeen's transfer wishlist as Dons hope European carrot means it's second time lucky

Aberdeen have stepped up their interest in Jay Idzes again.

The Dons remain keen to land the young Dutch defender from Go Ahead Eagles. Sources in Holland have confirmed that Aberdeen are pushing to try and get a deal for the 22-year-old over the line. Idzes is out of contract in the summer and has been a long-term target for the Pittodrie outfit. Aberdeen previously made a move to land Idzes at the turn of the year when Jim Goodwin was the manager.

The Reds were close to agreeing a pre contract but the deal stalled when Goodwin was shown the door. Idzes didn’t want to commit until he knew who the next Aberdeen manager was going to be. Barry Robson has come in and transformed the team from bottom six to favourites to finish third in the Premiership. The former Scotland cap had only got a deal himself until the end of the season but it is looking more and more likely he will get the gig long-term.
