Derek McInnes has admitted former Hibs striker Flo Kamberi may not be prolific but can make Aberdeen’s other players better.
The Swiss striker has signed on loan at Pittodrie for the remainder of the season after his move to St Gallen from Easter Road didn’t work out.
Kamberi was in line to make his Premiership debut for the Dons against his former club on Saturday, but a visa issue meant he was left stranded in Switzerland and his arrival in the North east was delayed.
He could feature for against St Mirren this Saturday though, and McInnes outlined the traits he believes Kamberi has that will help his team.
“The thing with Florian is he has more experience than the other two lads (Fraser Hornby and Callum Hendry) we brought in,” he said.
“He has know-how of the Premiership and a pedigree. Not having him available for Hibs and Livingston was a blow.
“However, the adjustment and settling into the Scottish league will be fine for Florian.
“Florian can play in and around a main striker, he can play at the top of the pitch and stretch teams.
“I see him a lot like Marley Watkins in the type of player Florian is and how he plays the position.
“Florian is maybe not going to be prolific in terms of scoring, but he will chip in with goals.
“He makes other players better and links the play well.
“He has the ability to stretch teams and Florian can absolutely play one or two positions for us on that front end.”
