Aberdeen were last night rubbing their hands at the prospect of a huge windfall as speculation grew over a big-money move for Ryan Fraser.
London rivals Arsenal and Spurs are reported to be preparing for a summer bidding war over the Bournemouth winger who left Pittodrie in 2013.
Now Record Sport can reveal, as part of his £400,000 sale, the Dons inserted a clause that earns them 20 per cent from any future transfer.
With Fraser’s auction expected to open at around the £20m mark, Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes hopes to land a minimum of £4m.

A source said: “Derek is keeping an eye on things, the interest seems genuine. That cash could make an enormous difference.”
Fraser has caught the eye with his performances for the Cherries and his reputation continues grow in the English Premier League.
Arsenal will have only limited funds this summer which may be boosted if they finish in the Champions League places.
But Arsenal want a wide forward and also a midfielder to replace Aaron Ramsey who is leaving the club this summer to join Juventus on a free transfer.
