CEO Burrows says forgotten link with Atlanta can still bear fruit despite early setbacks

- ANTHONY EVANS

ALAN BURROWS insists Aberdeen can use their forgotten link with Atlanta United to recruit top talents from across the pond in the next couple of transfer windows.

The Dons entered a strategic partnership with Atlanta way back in 2019, with the MLS side’s parent company AMB Sports & Entertainment investing £2million into the club shortly before Dave Cormack took up the reins from Stewart Milne as Aberdeen chairman.

Former president of the MLS, Darren Eales, previously held a position on Aberdeen’s board and that presence continues with non-executive board member Dimitrios Efstathiou being re-elected as a director at Pittodrie at Monday night’s AGM.

But the link-up between the two clubs has yet to prove fruitful when it comes to the transfer market.
