The transfer saga surrounding Shayden Morris has hit a wall, with Aberdeen refusing to budge on their valuation of the winger amid growing interest from Luton Town.
Luton, currently competing in League One, has had not one but two bids knocked back by the Scottish Premiership side. The most recent offer? Roughly £600,000. Still not enough.
The 23-year-old winger, who is now in the final year of his contract at Pittodrie, is clearly valued far higher by the Dons. And they’re in no rush to part ways.
“Morris moved to Aberdeen from Fleetwood Town in the summer of 2022 and won the club’s player of the year award in May, despite often being used from the bench.”
That speaks volumes. The pacey wide man didn’t just show flashes — he delivered. With five goals and a remarkable 13 assists last season, he was a key figure in Jimmy Thelin’s squad. Quietly influential.
Four of those assists came during Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup campaign — a run that ended in glory. Their first cup win since 1990.
“Morris featured in all 38 Premiership matches last term but started just 11 of those.”
That stat might raise eyebrows. But it also highlights his consistency and reliability — even off the bench, he made an impact. Game after game.
Luton are clearly keen, but they’ll need to dig deeper if they want Morris in their ranks before the season kicks off.
The clock’s ticking. But Aberdeen, as it stands, aren’t blinking.
