Dundee United target Kris Boyd has held talks with Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes as the race for his signature hots up.
The Tangerines, Dons and French club Nimes are all keen on the 30-year-old former Scotland, Rangers and Kilmarnock striker.
McInnes has been quick off the mark, saying: “We have made a pitch of what Aberdeen can be as a club for Kris.
“I managed to meet and talk with Kris and also talked to his agent.
“We have had a discussion and said we would like to bring another forward into the club. Kris has a few other options and wants some time to consider them.”
Meanwhile, reports from down south linking United youngster Ryan Gauld with English Championship side Wolves have been dismissed.
