Nicolas Milanovic: Aberdeen close to finalising deal for Australian

Aberdeen are close to finalising a deal to sign Australian forward Nicolas Milanovic from Western Sydney Wanderers.

The 23-year-old has scored 12 goals in the A-League this season and set up a further six.

Milanovic, who is primarily a right winger but can play along the front line, has a year left on his contract in his homeland meaning the Dons will have to spend a fee of just under £500,000.

The attacker is part of former Rangers defender Tony Vidmar’s Australian Under-23 side.

The clubs are well down the line with an agreement and Milanovic is likely to become manager Jimmy Thelin’s first signing of the summer window.

Scottish Cup finalists Aberdeen, who are fifth in the Scottish Premiership with five games to play, host Hibernian on Saturday, with the visitors three points in front of both Dundee United and the Dons.
