Aberdeen are ready to activate Adama Sidibeh’s £500,000 release clause, sources have told Football Insider.

A host of clubs, including Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers are expected to watch Sidibeh against Rangers as they weigh up a move for the pacy forward before the close of the transfer window

.St Johnstone are aware of the growing interest in the 26-year-old, but they would be powerless to keep him if his release clause is activated.

The striker enhanced his growing reputation with a superb double for St Johnstone in their win over Kilmarnock last weekend, making it nine goals in 14 starts since he joined the club from non-league side Rylands in January.
