Adam Rooney fuels Bojan Miovski Aberdeen FC transfer January exit fear over one key issue

Adam Rooney reckons Aberdeen face a fight on their hands to keep a hold of Bojan Miovski this month due to their lowly position in the league table.

Barry Robson's side do have several games in hand on the teams above them, but currently find themselves in eighth place in the Premiership. The Dons have collected just 22 points from their first 18 matches, leaving them 14 points adrift of third-placed Hearts. Despite their struggles, Macedonian star Miovski has enjoyed a brilliant first half of the campaign, netting 16 times in 30 appearances in all competitions, having only managed 18 goals in his debut season in 2022/23.

The 24-year-old is the subject of interest from top-flight clubs in Italy, Spain and Germany while Premiership rivals Celtic are also believed to be keen admirers of the Aberdeen hitman, who has 30 months remaining on his current deal at Pittodrie.

Former Reds goal hero Rooney, who scored an impressive 88 goals in 197 outings during his four and a half years at Pittodrie between 2014 and 2018, believes Miovski's instinctive ability to put the ball in the back of the net will always attract suitors from elsewhere.

Speaking to Record Sport, the Irishman said: "He's doing really well. He is a really good finisher and is banging the goals in. There is obviously going to be people looking at him which is part and parcel of the game when you are scoring goals. It does look good for Aberdeen that people are looking at him, as it means they are performing. They will do well to hold onto him, but he seems to be enjoying his football at the moment and that plays a big part in it. I have been lucky enough to be in that position scoring goals for Aberdeen, and the fans really take to you. It is an enjoyable place
