McGhee hopes to secure work permit to sign Vujadinovic
Aberdeen are hoping to secure a work permit to finalise the loan signing of Udinese full-back Nikola Vujadinovic.
The 24-year-old's move to Pittodrie initially appeared to have fallen through last week, but the Dons were able to agree a season-long deal before Tuesday's deadline.
However, Vujadinovic's capture is subject to a work permit hearing on Monday as he currently does not fulfil the criteria after failing to appear in 75 per cent of Montenegro's internationals in the past two years.
Dons boss Mark McGhee is optimistic the tribunal will look kindly on the club's case as he is anxious to bring in a new left-back.
Delicate
"It is a bit delicate because it is in the hands of the SFA tribunal," McGhee told the
Press & Journal.
"We will have to wait and see what happens. We will put forward a good case.
"We will supply the evidence we believe will be sufficient. Vujadinovic has terrific pedigree, you do not get a five-year contract at a Serie A club unless you have ability.
"It is a position we have struggled to fill because we wanted Grant Basey, but were unable to find the funds."
