Aberdeen boss Barry Robson faces an anxious wait to see if Leighton Clarkson will return to Pittodrie next season.
The Dons have a broad agreement in place to sign the midfielder from Liverpool permanently but that is subject to the 21-year-old agreeing terms. Those talks have been on hold because Clarkson wants to have a break and then to consider his options over the summer. Reading, who have just been relegated to League One, are one of the clubs who are interested in the playmaker and he is also on the radar for a number of English Championship clubs.
Clarkson won’t make a decision until he sees what crystallises, especially if it means leaving Liverpool permanently. It has dashed the dreams of many of the Red Army, who thought Clarkson’s message after they clinched third space and a European return would definitely see him back in the North-east. Clarkson tweeted: “A big thank you to everyone involved @AberdeenFC for making this season an unforgettable one.
