Dons demand high price for Fyvie

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee has told Blackburn they would need serious money to prise 16-year-old Fraser Fyvie away from Pittodrie.

Reports claim Rovers have made several scouting missions to check out the teenager, who has made seven Clydesdale Bank Premier League appearances this season but McGhee is trying to secure Fyvie on a long-term contract and ensure the midfielder does not leave Pittodrie on the cheap.

McGhee said: "We have got Fraser under contract and we are negotiating to extend that - not only from the point of view of protecting the club's position, but also from the point of view that Fraser is playing in the first team for youth-team money. That's not fair, so we are trying to address that on his behalf."

He added: "If Blackburn or anyone else are interested, we in the next couple of years are going to be building a new stadium and 10 million quid would help towards that.

"So, if they want him they can have him, I can assure you."

McGhee expects Fyvie, who is currently sidelined by an ankle injury, will be flattered but not carried away by the reports.

"It's all to do with the people around him, what they are telling him and how they are reacting," McGhee added. "But he's a fairly well-earthed boy. He'll read it and enjoy it and I think he'll be flattered. He might get excited.

"But he'll hear what I'm saying now and realise he's not going anywhere and that will be the end of it."
