Town and Sunderland have been linked with a move for Aberdeen forward Scott Wright.

According to the Scottish Sun, the Blues and Black Cats are both eyeing the 22-year-old with the Dons said to value the Scotland U21 international, who is contracted until 2021, at £500,000.

It’s claimed the Blues made a move for Wright, who can play down the middle, out wide or as a number 10, last season and have now renewed their interest while the Wearsiders are also keen.

Wright came through the youth system at his hometown club before breaking into the first team in 2014. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Dundee.

Having added Will Keane to the squad earlier in the week, it would be a surprise if Town were to move for another frontman, certainly one who would cost a fee.

However, speaking this morning, manager Paul Lambert didn’t entirely rule out making a further addition before the transfer window closes on September 2nd.

“If people come up and I think it’s going to benefit the team and the club, then we’ll look at it,” he said. “We’ve still got another few days to go.”

cornishblu added 07:00 - Aug 24 Be interested to know what attendance figures we have budgeted for ...if approx 15k average we have already exceeded that by @13k ...at £25 a ticket we have made £325,000 extra already ....almost as good as paid for by the extra support .....what evans doesn't seem to realise that its a virtuous circle ....be a great message to be able to oay for someone else based on the tremendous support and commitment the supporters have shown COYB

BlueandTruesince82 added 08:13 - Aug 24 3 in 30 odd in Scotland? Doesn't convince me a record like that. Only young though so could develop

GiveusaWave added 08:36 - Aug 24 Not really a goal scorer so looked at whether he gets lots of assists. Answer is no. But must have something to offer or he wouldn't be i the Scotland team. Maybe a target man??

dav86 added 09:22 - Aug 24 Cornishblu there was a lot of under 19s, youngsters, kids at the ground for both homes games who only pay £7 a ticket. Think you better get your calculator out again

Linkboy13 added 09:59 - Aug 24 With Sunderland interested there's only one winner much nearer home for him and they would probably offer higher wages.

Linkboy13 added 10:04 - Aug 24 I would rather we spent the money on a quality centre half i know Nsiala is coming back but i don't think he's the answer.

miltonsnephew added 10:34 - Aug 24 Would love us to make a offer for Shayne Lavery of Linfield. Great prospect, will be playing in England either way next season if not this season.

janeb123 added 11:02 - Aug 24 Yeah I worked for Itf c and the average they make a head was £11. That was a few years ago but I doubt it's much more now.

ITFCsince73 added 13:04 - Aug 24 People need to understand. The cost is over the course of a contract. Any initial fees, wages, bonuses. Come on Evans, bring someone in, that shows our intent. 4 year contract...we could be premier league by then. Happy with business so far, but want a big signing still to really show we mean it.

BeattiesBackPocket added 13:39 - Aug 24 Those not sure on this lad weren't sure on waghorn either. Young and hungry yes please. Would rather that than a journeyman which has been the mainstay of our teams past 7 years

BuckieBlue added 18:47 - Aug 24 Wright is primarily a skilful winger. Good potential. Aberdeen don't need to sell (no debt) but he has been crowed out by other signings this season, so may fancy a move....especially to a side top of the league!
