From Scotland to Denmark: Topi Keskinen on verge of Dons exit
Aberdeen winger, Topi Keskinen is on the verge of departing Aberdeen with Danish side, Odense eyeing up the Finland International. Topi signed for the Dons back in 2024, signing for around £800k from HJK Helsinki meaning Aberdeen will be looking for a good amount of money should the winger move on. The Finnish International was watched most recently on International duty against Germany in Mainz where the Danish outfit seem to be very keen in the Aberdeen number 81. Odense have undertaken lengthy scouting work in Keskinen and would like to add the former HJK Helsinki man to Denmark as they see the pacey winger as a real target for the Danish outfit. Topi has been recorded as one of the fastest winger in Scottish football with Topi regularly being played as a wing-back or forward for the Dons. Topi netted on three occasions last campaign with five assists also and has capped Finland at senior level 12 times. Stephen Robinson is eager to free up the wage bill and offload players to increase his transfer budget with many other faces set to be shown the exit door with Ante Palaversa, Marko Lazetic and Kenan Bilalovic all set to depart as well as duo, Kusini Yengi and Peter Ambrose also set to be sold. Graeme Shinne also departed last week, letting go of some big wages with the former St Mirren manager signing trio, Brad Lyons, Lewis Mayo and Alexsander Briedl. Connor Ronan is also set to be the fourth summer signing when the transfer window opens in the coming weeks.
