Aberdeen are set to make Jeppe Okkels their first January signing.
The Aberdeen have agreed an initial loan for the season for the Danish winger from Preston with an option. Okkels former played for Jimmy Thelin at Elfsborg before he sold him to Utrecht for £3 million last year. The 24-year-old moved to Preston in the summer.
New Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom has come in and plays without wingers and so has agreed to let Okkels go. Thelin signed the former Danish international from Silkeborg in 2020 and he had three years with him in Sweden. Okkels arrived in Aberdeen last night. The Dons are in the market for several other targets, including Kristers Tobers. Thelin is looking to strengthen his squad, which has failed to win in the last 10.
