Aberdeen FC told Bojan Miovski January transfer simply CAN’T happen as team-mate makes pitch

Leighton Clarkson knows it is vital Aberdeen fend off interest in Bojan Miovski when the transfer window reopens.

The on-form Macedonian has been the go-to-guy for the Dons in the first part of the season with an impressive 14 goals. The striker is just four behind his haul for last season and Clarkson knows there will be strong interest in his goal-hungry teammate. But he believes it is imperative Aberdeen keep him in their charge to get back into third place and Europe.
