Aberdeen have been linked with a move for Scotland international striker Kevin Nisbet.
The 27 year-old former Hibernian attacker moved to Millwall for a reported £2million in June last year but has fallen down the pecking order at the English Championship club.
The Daily Record has reported Aberdeen are keen on bringing Nisbet, who scored 39 goals in 101 appearances for Hibs before earning his move to England, back to the Scottish Premiership.
Dons boss Jimmy Thelin is keen to strengthen his forward line following the sale of last season’s leading goalscorer Bojan Miovski to Spanish club Girona last week.
Nisbet did not join his team-mates for their 4-3 defeat at Bristol City on Saturday due to illness.
Lions boss has not ruled out Nisbet being allowed to leave this month
Millwall head coach Neil Harris has not ruled out the prospect of Nisbet being allowed to leave the New Den before the window closes on August 30.
He told the South London Press: “As always, it’s not just about Millwall Football Club, it’s about players as well – what their needs are.
“Yes, we’re very light on players. Kevin wasn’t with us on the weekend due to illness.
“I’m not sure if he will be with us this week. We have to get on with it. There has to be different agendas in the game.
“Some players settle, some don’t.
“I said back in May that naturally, over the course of a transfer window, there will be players coming in the building and players who want to leave for various reasons.
“I don’t expect that to be any different between now and August 30. I expect and hope there will be players in the building.
“I do expect one or two to leave the building for their own agendas.”
Nisbet has scored five goals in 30 appearances for Millwall but is a proven commodity in Scottish football.
He scored 34 goals in 46 games for Raith Rovers and 23 goals in 32 appearances for Dunfermline prior to joining Hibs in 2020.
Aberdeen hope they can agree a loan del with the Lions for the Nisbet, who missed out on a place in Steve Clarke’s squad for this summer’s European Championship finals in Germany due to injury.
