Aberdeen allow Vicente Besuijen to join Excelsior Rotterdam on loan

Aberdeen have confirmed the departure of Vicente Besuijen.

The young winger has joined Excelsior Rotterdam on loan until the end of the season.

The Eredivisie side have included an option to buy the Dutch player on a permanent basis at the end of the season.

He joined the club last January until Stephen Glass.

A club statement reads: "The club tonight confirms winger, Vicente Besuijen, has joined Excelsior Rotterdam for the remainder of the season, with the Eredivisie side retaining the option to acquire the player on a permanent basis at the end of the season.

"The 21-year-old joined the Dons in January 2022 and has made 42 appearances for the club.

"Everyone at AFC wishes Vinnie all the best during his time with Excelsior Rotterdam."

Meanwhile, Kyle Lafferty has terminated his contract at Kilmarnock.

The Northern Ireland international has departed the Rugby Park club on deadline day by mutual consent. 

A club statement has confirmed that the 35-year-old has left the Ayrshire side with immediate effect.

It reads: "It’s with regret that Kyle Lafferty and Kilmarnock Football Club have parted company by mutual consent. We thank Kyle for his service to the club."

Derek McInnes is now working hard on bringing in another striker before tonight's January window deadline. The window shuts at midnight. 

It's believed the club are still working on doing business in the remaining hours. 

Lafferty first joined Killie around two-years-ago for his first spell at the club.

It ultimately ended in relegation with Tommy Wright, despite displaying some free scoring form.
