Kari Wants To Stay At Aberdeen

Aberdeen midfielder Kari Arnason hopes to secure a compromise deal that allows him to stay at Pittodrie.

The Iceland international rejected a new contract offer earlier in the year with his demands reported to have been £5,000 a week.

But the 29-year-old is still willing to negotiate a deal after impressing in his first season.

“The club is really good I’ve enjoyed it a lot at Aberdeen,” he told RedTV.

“The boys are terrific, the gaffer has done really well bringing this group of players together, there’s not a bad word I could say about any of the players.

“I want to stay at the club and I am hoping that we can come to terms and find some middle ground, but it is up to the club.

“I haven’t heard much lately, I’m just waiting to see what happens.”

Aberdeen welcome St Mirren on Saturday in the final Clydesdale Bank Premier League game of the season looking to move up from ninth place in the table.

The Dons have won only once in their last five league games and Arnason concedes fatigue has played a part.

“All the boys are tired,” he added.

“You look at the players and some of them are like deflated balloons especially players who have played most of the games.

“You get knocks here and there as well which doesn’t help.”

Asked what he thought of his own performance this season he said: “For two thirds of the season I started quite well and lived up to expectations.

“The last third has been not good enough and the team haven’t been performing as well.”
