Aberdeen’s rejection of a £2 million bid for Lewis Ferguson underlines manager Stephen Glass’ battle to retain their “valuable” players as he bids to strengthen the squad for next season. Following the dismissal of the Hornets’ bid, which Aberdeen slated as an “insulting offer”, midfielder Ferguson slapped in a written transfer request. Glass views the 21-year-old as an integral part of a squad he will strengthen during the summer transfer window. With Ferguson – the Reds top scorer in 2020-21 with 10 goals – tied to a deal until summer 2024, Aberdeen hold all the cards. Aberdeen Players’ Player of the Year and Supporters’ Player of the Year-winner Hedges recently said he anticipated Aberdeen to open talks on his future soon.
