Aberdeen are closing in on a deal to sign Livingston striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas – but what would the former Arsenal striker bring to Pittodrie? Would he bring the goals and presence in attack the Dons were lacking throughout the season? Emmanuel-Thomas scored more Premiership goals than he should have according to the level of the chances he had. On-loan St Johnstone striker Callum Hendry was the best of the Dons strikers with a 15.38% shot conversion rate during his loan spell at Pittodrie. The other loan strikers, Florian Kamberi (St Gallen) and Fraser Hornby (Stade de Reims), failed to score in the Premiership and were behind their xG, with Kamberi’s 0.9 and Hornby’s 1.91.
