Juan Sara Set To Move?

AEK Athens are poised to move for the services of Dundee striker Juan Sara.
The news comes at a time when Dundee have announced they will have to sell a player or two in order to help the books.

Sara Could Be On His Way
At the end of last season Milwall were keen to sign him but the move fell flat when they opted for Dion Dublin instead.

Mark McGhee insisted he would be back for Juan in time for the new season to start but the collapse of the TV deal for English First Division clubs meant a shortage of cash and nothing more emerged.

Juan commented in today's Evening Telegraph: "I am looking forward to making a move, not because I'm unhappy here, but because it would be best for me and Dundee. I LOVE THIS CLUB AND THE FANS, but it seems I may have to go to another team."

With the signing of Nacho Novo, a completely different style of attack may be the option next season. With Steven Milne and Fabian Caballero also in the running for the coveted striker's role high balls into the box would seem to be yesterday's news. This could be the new partnership up front with Nacho playing a wider role on the right as he did with Raith Rovers.
