Jordan Miles craved by Leeds United as Aberdeen FC face losing ANOTHER transfer guru

Leeds United are trying to land Aberdeen's head of recruitment Jordan Miles.

The Dons only headhunted Miles from West Ham United in July. Leeds now want to offer him a quick-fire return to England to become a major player in their transfer moves. The Championship giants are pushing for a deal and are even trying to get a deal to bring in Miles before the January window opens.

It is likely to see the Dons lose their second head of recruitment in the space of six months. Miles was appointed in July after Darren Mowbray went to Championship rivals Southampton. Aberdeen director of football Steven Gunn has overseen both appointments and will have contingency plans in place if, as expected, Leeds agree a deal. The Dons would be entitled to compensation and there would also be a notice period to be taken into account.

The good thing from Aberdeen’s point of view is that the majority of their transfer activity was done in the last window. It means that any movement or business is likely to be minimal for Barry Robson’s squad next month. The majority of that work has been done or is on-going with regards the winter transfer market.
