Aberdeen are reportedly tracking Ghanaian defender Nurudeen Abdulai with the view to a potential summer transfer window move.

The highly rated 19-year-old has won Ghana Premier League with Medeama SC.

Reports in Ghana claim Aberdeen are preparing a bid for the defender who is also being tracked by clubs in England, Denmark and Norway.

Abdulai has made  57 appearances for Ghanaian champions Medeama SC scoring four goals.

The defender played in the group stages of the CAF Champions League last season.

Abdulai played a pivotal role in Medeama SC winning the Ghana Premier League for the first time in the club’s history in the 2022/23 season.

Abdulai was included in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations provisional squad but missed out with a shoulder injury.
