Scott McKenna Set for Talks With Stoke City After Aberdeen Accept £7m Bid for Defender

Reports suggest that Aberdeen have accepted a £7m bid from Stoke City for Scottish international Scott McKenna.

McKenna has been a regular fixture in Aberdeen's line-up this season, resulting in Stoke City making an effort to sign the player before the transfer deadline. The 22-year-old has impressed in the Scottish Premiership, breaking into Scotland's national team last year and going on to make eight appearances for his country.

It has been reported by Football Insider that McKenna was the subject of an opening £5m bid from Stoke that Aberdeen turned down. Stoke returned with a £7m bid that has now been accepted, allowing the player to begin talks with the English Championship side.
