Aluko going nowhere, claims McLeish
Published:
GOTHENBURG Great Alex McLeish today warned Jimmy Calderwood that Sone Aluko is going nowhere right now.
The Dons boss wants to bring the Birmingham winger back to Pittodrie following a successful loan spell.
But Blues boss McLeish first wants to run the rule over Aluko first before making a decision about his future.
“I haven’t spoken to Jimmy Calderwood again about any possible loan for Sone,” said McLeish.
“I’m not saying it definitely won’t happen but the natural progression for him is to come back to us.
“He’s a player with lots of talent and I have to assess if he’s ready.
“I was hoping Sone would be able to join us for pre-season training but he’s going away with England.
“It’s great that he’s been selected for the European U19 Championships.
“That’s a great honour and I’ll be getting reports on how he gets on in those games.”

I think Big Eck should let Sone stay with the Dons for at least 2 more years or at least until Brum or back in the premier league.
