Aberdeen summer transfer window recap as Jimmy Thelin 'pleased' with squad

The transfer window has slammed shut for another summer, and for Aberdeen their shopping spree is proving its worth already.

Kevin Nisbet, signed on loan from Millwall, bagged a stunning 98th-minute winner to down Ross County on Saturday, while two weeks ago, £860,000 winger Topi Keskinen steered the Reds to the League Cup quarter-finals.

It's been a busy summer at Cormack Park, with eight new arrivals all coming through the door, but it's the list of outgoing Dons that may surprise fans.

Nearly 20 players have left the club, with a select few out on loan and due to return, but Jimmy Thelin has insisted he is happy with his squad after he declared their business done and dusted on Friday evening.

Alfie Bavidge was the final player to make a move, linking up with former Aberdeen captain Scott Brown in a loan deal with Ayr United.

Speaking previously, Thelin said: "I am very pleased with the response from the players already at the club, and our new players have integrated well, building strong foundations which will continue to grow over the weeks and months ahead.

"Overall, we are satisfied with the business we have done over this summer. We have added some exciting options and the work on improving the squad will be on-going as we prepare for January and Summer 2025."

While it feels a long time since Gavin Molloy became the first arrival of the summer, a lot has gone on since then, and you can remind yourself of all the arrivals and departures below.
