Wigan Athletic transfer target to be given time to weigh up his options

Aberdeen captain Graeme Shinnie is being given time to weigh up his options in the summer.

The 27-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is not rushing into any decision, as per the Evening Express.

Championship side Wigan Athletic were linked with a move for him in the January transfer window and will be monitoring the situation closely. Hull City and Sunderland have also been linked with him in the past.

Shinnie, who can also play as a left-back if needed, has played over 350 games so far in his career and they have all come in Scotland.

He has four caps for Scotland to his name and made his debut for his country last May in a game against Peru. His brother, Andrew, plays for League One table toppers Luton Town.

He started out at Inverness Caledonian Thistle as a youngster and had a brief loan stint at Forres Mechanics in 2010 in the Scottish Highland League. On his return to Inverness, Shinnie went onto establish himself in their first-team and played 187 games for them in total.

Shinnie captained Inverness to their Scottish Cup triumph in 2015, prior to his switch to Aberdeen. He has since been a key player for the Dons but could be set for a new chapter in his career south of the Scottish border next season.

Wigan are currently trying to stay afloat in the Championship this season but will have an eye on summer recruitment already.
