Aberdeen manager McInnes is proud of his side’s second successive title challenge to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership but there is frustration within Pittodrie that Aberdeen’s bid wilted in the final two months of the campaign.
McInnes is eager to get in more new faces, with a goalkeeper his next priority but there will be more to follow, with the manager looking to add physicality to his squad and Aucho has all Mclnnes is looking for in a player from agility,physical power and prowess, speed,lethal left foot and above all amazing composure as most of Gor Mahia attacking revolves around him.
The challenge facing the Aberdeen manager and his players will increase with the return of Rangers to the top flight of Scottish football and the arrival of Brendan Rodgers as Celtic manager but McInnes is confident his squad can continue to compete and is determined to build a stronger Aberdeen side.
