Price
Plays left midfield, left-back · left-footed · cm · caps
Why · From full-back he sets up league goals per full match; for goals and assists he is behind most players at his position in Scottish Premiership (ahead of ). A move that can happen: Dundee FC sell players like him more often than most ( chance in a window), and players tend to move up to richer clubs like Paderborn. The likeliest move of those we checked ( in a window; any one move is a long shot). Only months are left on his contract, which brings the price down.
