da bet sport： As reported by Sky Sports, Aberdeen transfer target Dylan McGeouch has opened talks with Sunderland about a switch to League One, with his contract at Hibs due to expire at the end of this month.
What’s the story?
da pixbet： The outlet note that Aberdeen, along with Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers, are also interested in his services.
Aberdeen have been consistently linked a move for the Scotland international, with the Evening Express reporting earlier this month that the Dons had made a offer to make him the highest paid player at Pittodrie.
Rivals Rangers are also looking to sign him, according to The Scottish Sun.
They’ll have to move quickly to secure his services though, with former St Mirren manager Jack Ross apparently eager to bring him to Sunderland as he attempts to build a side capable of winning promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Would he be a good signing?
McGeouch is coming off a stand-out 2017/18 season at Hibernian, winning both the players’ and supporters’ player of the year awards at the club ahead of more hyped talents like John McGinn.
The former Hoops man was the player who made Neil Lennon’s side tick all season, his dynamic and committed midfield play allowing Hibs’ attacking players to shine in the final third, despite a lack of direct goal contributions.
With the departure of Kenny McLean, Aberdeen need quality in the middle of the park to complement the signings of Chris Forrester and Stephen Gleeson. McGeouch ticks all the boxes.
Beating the likes of Rangers and Sunderland to his signature would demonstrate the potential and ambition that Aberdeen have ahead of next season.
It’s the transfer coup they need to show they can compete towards the top of the Scottish Premiership table again.
