ABERDEEN director of football Willie Miller is hopeful of bringing in three more players after handing new contracts to a trio of Dons players.
Midfielder Stuart Duff signed a two-year deal after joining on a short-term basis from Dundee United in January.
French goalkeeper Bertrand Bossu has also signed after impressing on a trial period, and 17-year-old midfielder Sammy Stewart complet
ed his move from Irish side Glenavon.
Miller is now hopeful of persuading full-back Alan Maybury to sign up after he joined in January from Leicester.
Miller told RedTV: "We know the amount we are going to have in the first-team pool and we are getting pretty close to filling all the slots. We have got three, and we have probably got another two or three we are looking to sign over the summer."
The former Dons skipper and manager admits he cannot compete financially with English clubs when trying to persuade Maybury to extend his stay, but he hopes the prospect of challenging in the top half of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League will help.
"We would be delighted to keep Alan," he said. "I have had long conversations with him. He seems to have enjoyed his time at Aberdeen. He has been playing at a high level, and a high level, financially, that we cannot compete with, but we hope to compete in football terms."
