Dons boss Derek McInnes is close to finalising a deal for Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie, according to reports.
The 21-year-old former Inverness star has struggled for regular first team football in Glasgow since joining in 2015.
Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers is understood to be keen to hang on to Christie but a loan move could be an ideal opportunity to further the youngster’s development.
Rodgers said yesterday players could leave during the window and with Aberdeen missing out on a further loan switch for James Maddison, McInnes will be keen to secure more midfield options.
