“I would definitely be interested in extending my stay up here,” he said.

“I have been very impressed by Aberdeen, it really is a massive club.

“I had played in Scotland for a long time and I always knew Aberdeen was a big club but I had no idea just how big it was until I came up here.

“The fanbase is so large and the supporters are so passionate – it really is a massive club.”
